Bhc Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
The low end of this range assumes that you already have a space from which to operate your Master Franchise Business.
The high end of this range assumes that you elect to open and maintain a small office of 1,000 square feet, pay a deposit and rent for the first 3 months, and incur costs for office fixtures and furniture.
The cost of your office, however, will vary greatly depending on its size, location, and the fixtures and furniture you choose, if the space is not already built out and furnished.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the high end of the business office cost range for a Master Franchise assumes that the franchisee elects to open and maintain a small office of 1,000 square feet. This also includes paying a deposit and rent for the first 3 months, as well as incurring costs for office fixtures and furniture.
However, the FDD notes that the cost of the office can vary significantly. This depends on factors such as the office's size and location, and the fixtures and furniture chosen. The cost will also vary if the space is not already built out and furnished.
While Bhc requires franchisees to have access to space to communicate and operate their Master Franchise Business, they are not obligated to open and maintain a separate business office within the Development Area. The low end of the business office cost range assumes that the franchisee already has a space from which to operate their Master Franchise Business.
