How many days annually might Bevaris Alliance require franchisees to attend additional training?

According to Bevaris Alliance's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may be required to attend up to six days annually for additional training. This training is determined necessary by Bevaris Alliance and may include supplemental programs, an annual conference, or a convention at a location designated by them.

This requirement means that franchisees must factor in both the time and potential travel expenses associated with attending these additional training sessions. While the initial training is provided, ongoing training costs are the responsibility of the franchisee. The FDD also mentions that Bevaris Alliance may periodically visit the franchisee's business to observe operations and provide advice, which could also lead to recommendations for further training.

Franchisees should consider the potential disruption to their business operations when planning for these training days. It is important to budget not only for the direct costs of training but also for any lost revenue or additional staffing costs incurred while the franchisee or their staff are away for training. Understanding the specific topics covered in these additional training sessions can help franchisees better prepare and ensure the training is relevant to their business needs.

Prospective franchisees should inquire about the typical schedule and content of these additional training days to better understand the commitment involved. It would also be prudent to ask about the criteria Bevaris Alliance uses to determine the necessity of additional training, as this could vary depending on the franchisee's performance and the evolving needs of the Bevaris Alliance system.
