What happens to tuition paid for incomplete subjects if a Best Brains franchise terminates?

According to Best Brains' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a Best Brains franchise terminates, the franchisee may be required to transfer students to another Best Brains center or refund tuition for incomplete subjects. Specifically, the franchisee must transfer some or all of the students to another Best Brains learning center, refund some or all of the tuition paid by the students for subjects which have not yet been completed, and take such other actions as Best Brains may direct to ensure the orderly transition of such students.

This requirement ensures that students are not left without educational services and that Best Brains maintains its reputation. The franchisor has the right to direct the franchisee on how to handle the transition of students, which could include transferring them to another Best Brains location or providing refunds.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that upon termination, they may need to allocate funds to cover potential tuition refunds. The franchisee should be prepared to cooperate with Best Brains to ensure a smooth transition for students, which may involve transferring student records and providing necessary information to the receiving center. This obligation is part of the franchisee's responsibilities upon termination to ensure an orderly wind-down of the business and to protect the interests of the students and the Best Brains brand.
