If a prospective Bhc franchisee intends to have co-franchisees, does Bhc require each prospective franchisee to fill out and sign the Acknowledgment and Authorization for Background Check?

According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a prospective franchisee intends to have co-franchisees, Bhc requires each prospective franchisee to fill out and sign the Acknowledgment and Authorization for Background Check. This form is used to evaluate the suitability of potential franchisees. The document includes a section to indicate whether the applicant intends to have a co-franchisee, and if so, to list their names and ownership percentages.

This requirement ensures that Bhc thoroughly vets all individuals involved in the franchise ownership and management. By requiring each co-franchisee to complete the background check form, Bhc aims to maintain consistent standards across all its franchise locations and mitigate potential risks associated with unsuitable franchise owners.

Prospective franchisees should be aware that Bhc will conduct background checks on all co-franchisees. Each individual should be prepared to provide accurate and complete information to facilitate the application process. Failing to comply with this requirement may result in delays or denial of the franchise application.
