When did Body Fit Training USA Inc. first offer Bft franchises?

Bft Franchise · 2025 FDD

Answer from 2025 FDD Document

BFT® franchises were first offered in 2020 by Body Fit Training USA Inc. ("Body Fit Training USA") who continued offering franchises for the brand until October 2021. In October 2021, our affiliate, BFT Franchise Holdings, LLC (our "Predecessor") acquired from Body Fit Training USA all rights, title and interest in and to the BFT franchise system, trademarks, and other intellectual property. Body Fit Training USA's Australian-based affiliate has master franchise rights for the development of BFT-branded studios within Australia, Singapore and New Zealand. Predecessor has temporarily operated Studios in connection with the reacquisition of Studios from franchisees for purposes of resale to new franchisees.

From January 2022 through March 2023, franchises for BFT-branded studios ("Studios") were offered by Predecessor. To facilitate the possibility of future funding and financing opportunities (each a "Financing Opportunity") for our parent entities, in March 2023, we and our affiliates engaged in an internal reorganization (the "Reorganization"), pursuant to which we acquired from Predecessor, and currently own, the Marks (defined below) and other intellectual property related to the development and operation of Studios and the BFT System. We began selling franchises for Studios as of April 4, 2023. The Franchise Agreements, area development agreements, and certain other agreements related to Studios that were signed by Predecessor before the Reorganization were assigned to us as of December 31, 2023.
