What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Best Brains' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must submit any advertising materials not already prepared or approved by Best Brains for approval. If the franchisee does not receive written approval within 14 days of Best Brains receiving the materials, the advertising is considered disapproved.
Best Brains maintains control over advertising and online presence. Franchisees have access to corporate-provided social media and can post content according to Best Brains' guidelines. However, Best Brains retains master rights and can change or edit franchisee posts.
Furthermore, Best Brains franchisees are not allowed to create or manage their own websites or domains associated with their Best Brains business. Instead, each location has a dedicated section on the corporate website, and franchisees are responsible for providing new content for their section following Best Brains' guidelines. This ensures a consistent brand image and message across all franchise locations.
