Under what conditions can Bevaris Alliance compel a franchisee's attendance at supplementary training programs?

According to Bevaris Alliance's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Bevaris Alliance has the right to require franchisees to attend supplementary training programs. These programs may include on-site visits, training at a designated training site, and attendance at an annual convention. The annual convention can last for up to six calendar days. Bevaris Alliance has sole discretion over these supplementary training programs.

This means that as a Bevaris Alliance franchisee, you may be required to participate in additional training beyond the initial training program. These mandatory training sessions could involve traveling to a designated location or hosting on-site visits from Bevaris Alliance representatives. The FDD specifies that attendance at the annual convention could take up to six days each year.

Franchisees should factor in the potential costs and time commitment associated with these supplementary training programs. While the FDD does not specify who bears the costs of travel and lodging for these programs, it is important to clarify these details with Bevaris Alliance during the due diligence process. Understanding the scope and frequency of required training is crucial for managing your time and budget as a franchisee.
