Is training required for the proposed transferee and its owners and employees when transferring a Better Blend franchise?

According to Better Blend's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, training may be required for the proposed transferee, its owners, and employees when transferring a franchise. Better Blend retains the discretion to mandate such training as a condition of approving the transfer.

Specifically, before a transfer can be completed, the proposed transferee and their owners must complete Better Blend's franchise application processes, meet the then-applicable standards for new franchisees, and be approved by Better Blend as franchisees. This suggests that Better Blend evaluates transferees as if they were new franchisees, ensuring they meet the current standards and qualifications.

This requirement ensures that the new operators are adequately prepared to maintain the standards and operational procedures of the Better Blend franchise system. The cost and duration of this training are not specified in the provided FDD excerpt, so prospective franchisees should inquire with Better Blend about the details of the training program for transferees.
