What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Best Brains' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, in the event of a franchisee's death or disability, the franchisee is responsible for two specific fees. First, Best Brains may appoint a manager to manage the franchised business, and the franchisee must pay a Management Fee. This fee is to be determined based on the circumstances, but is currently $500 per day, plus reasonable expenses. This covers the period during which the appointed manager is running the Best Brains center.
Second, the franchisee is responsible for covering the costs associated with assistance provided by Best Brains in running the franchised business due to death or disability. This includes the compensation and expenses for personnel performing the assistance, as well as other expenses such as transportation, lodging, and meals. These costs are actual costs incurred by Best Brains.
These fees ensure that Best Brains is compensated for the costs and efforts involved in managing the center and providing assistance during a period when the franchisee is unable to do so. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand these potential costs and factor them into their financial planning.
