What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Best Brains' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the training fee for a Premium Learning Center is due upon signing the Franchise Agreement. The estimated training fee is $3,500, payable via check or electronic transfer directly to Best Brains. This fee covers the cost to attend the initial training program.
Prospective franchisees should factor this payment into their initial investment costs, as it is required upfront. Unlike some other fees that are due before opening, the training fee is specifically tied to the signing of the agreement, meaning it's one of the first financial obligations a new franchisee will encounter.
It's important to note that this fee is non-refundable, as stated in Note 18. Therefore, candidates should carefully consider their decision before signing the Franchise Agreement and remitting the $3,500 training fee to Best Brains.
