What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Best Brains' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee would incur an Additional Assistance fee if they request assistance from Best Brains that goes beyond the standard support offered. This fee is currently $500 per day, plus any associated costs. These costs could include the personnel performing the assistance, transportation, lodging, and meals.
In practical terms, this means that if a Best Brains franchisee needs extra help with their center operations, marketing, or any other aspect of the business that is not covered by the standard support provided by the franchisor, they will be charged for the additional assistance. The franchisee will be responsible for not only the daily fee but also for covering the expenses incurred by Best Brains to provide that assistance.
It is important for prospective Best Brains franchisees to understand what is included in the standard support provided by the franchisor and what would be considered additional assistance. Franchisees should also consider this potential expense when budgeting for their business, as unforeseen circumstances may arise where additional support is needed. Understanding the scope of standard support and planning for potential additional costs is a key aspect of financial planning for a Best Brains franchise.
