What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Best In Class Education Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the technology systems a franchisee uses must meet the standards and specifications set by Best In Class Education Center. These systems include hardware, software, equipment, software applications, mobile apps, and similar items. Some components must be purchased from approved or designated suppliers, while others can be sourced from any supplier.
Best In Class Education Center may require franchisees to purchase certain services related to the establishment, use, maintenance, monitoring, security, or improvement of these technology systems from approved or designated suppliers. Currently, franchisees are required to license the proprietary BCP-LMS from LBIS, an affiliate of Best In Class Education Center, and must also license and use QuickBooks Online.
This means that a prospective Best In Class Education Center franchisee has limited choice regarding certain technology systems and related services. The franchisee must use specific software (BCP-LMS and QuickBooks Online) and may be required to purchase other technology-related services from approved vendors. This ensures uniformity across all Best In Class Education Center locations but reduces the franchisee's autonomy in selecting technology solutions. It is important to note that Best In Class Education Center benefits from the required use of BCP-LMS, as their affiliate LBIS is the exclusive supplier.
