What is the approximate current annual cost of a service contract for the Bhc Computer System?

According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the current approximate annual cost for a service contract for the Computer System ranges from $4,000 to $10,000 per year. However, Bhc does not currently require franchisees to purchase a maintenance, repair, upgrade, or update service contract for the Computer System, but retains the right to mandate such contracts in the future.

Prospective Bhc franchisees should note that while a service contract is not currently mandatory, it could become so during the term of their franchise agreement. This would add a significant, recurring expense to the cost of operating the franchise. Franchisees are solely responsible for the acquisition, operation, maintenance, and upgrading of the Computer System. Bhc, nor any affiliate or third party, is obligated to provide ongoing maintenance, repairs, upgrades, or updates for the Computer System.

Given the potential for required service contracts, it would be prudent for prospective franchisees to inquire about the specific circumstances under which Bhc might mandate these contracts. Understanding the potential costs and conditions associated with the Computer System is an important part of assessing the overall financial viability of a Bhc franchise.
