How is the cost for the Pre-Sales Retail Package for a Bft studio collected?

According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the cost for the Pre-Sales Retail Package is collected directly by the retail team at the start of the Pre-Sales Phase. The Soft Opening retail inventory cost, however, is included as a line item in the equipment invoice. The Pre-Sales and Soft Opening Retail Package must be purchased directly through Bft, though Bft may designate in the future that franchisees purchase it directly from a third-party Approved Supplier. This package includes branded merchandise, apparel, and accessories to support presales and soft opening retail sales. Bft will provide a curated retail inventory based on the Studio's retail display needs, with components determined in coordination with the Bft team to ensure brand consistency and optimal product selection.

The initial investment table shows that the Pre-Sales and Soft Opening Retail Inventory Kit has a low amount of $14,000 and a high amount of $18,000. This amount is due before opening and is paid to Bft as a lump sum.

Prospective franchisees should note that these costs are part of the initial investment required to start the franchise and should factor them into their financial planning. Understanding the payment schedule and potential changes in supply sources is crucial for managing cash flow during the initial phases of the business.
