What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Best Brains' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay a monthly Technology Fee, with the amount dependent on student enrollment. For a Best Brains center with 0-100 students, the monthly Technology Fee is $40. This fee is due at the same time as the Royalty Fee.
Technology fees in franchising are commonly used to cover the costs of software, IT support, and other technology-related services provided by the franchisor. This fee structure, where the amount varies based on the number of students, means that franchisees with smaller centers pay less, which can be beneficial during the initial stages of operation when building enrollment.
However, franchisees should be aware that Best Brains retains the right to increase all specified fees, including the Technology Fee, no more than once per fiscal year to reflect increases in the Consumer Price Index. This means the $40 monthly fee could increase over time, impacting the franchisee's operating costs.
