What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Best In Class Education Center FDD, the BCP-LMS Monthly Fees consist of three components: Monthly Student User Fees, a percentage of Gross Sales minus Enrichment Sales, and a percentage of Special Program Sales. The Monthly Student User Fees can be up to $15 per student per subject per month, but is currently $8. Additionally, franchisees must pay 2% of their Gross Sales (minus Enrichment Sales) and 1% of Special Program Sales. These fees are paid to Best In Class Education Center or an affiliate.
These fees cover the use of the BCP-LMS system, which is essential for managing various aspects of the center's operations, including student registration, performance tracking, and access to educational materials. The BCP-LMS also provides features such as self-scheduling and billing for parents, along with real-time metrics and reports.
As the Monthly Student User Fees are calculated per subject, the total BCP-LMS fees will vary depending on student enrollment and the number of subjects each student takes. The franchisee should also note that the Monthly Student User Fees are subject to change, potentially impacting the overall cost of the BCP-LMS. Franchisees should carefully consider these ongoing technology costs when evaluating the financial viability of a Best In Class Education Center franchise.
