What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee seeking a Control Transfer must provide Body20 with written notice from their landlord. This notice must indicate that the landlord agrees to transfer the Site Lease to the proposed transferee. This is a specific requirement for Control Transfers, as Non-Control Transfers do not require obtaining the landlord's consent.
This requirement ensures that the transferee will have a secure location from which to operate the Body20 studio. Without the landlord's agreement to transfer the lease, the transfer of the franchise could be jeopardized if the transferee is unable to secure the lease for the premises.
It is important for prospective Body20 franchisees to understand the distinction between Control Transfers and Non-Control Transfers, as the requirements differ. Franchisees should also maintain a positive relationship with their landlord to facilitate the lease transfer process should they decide to transfer their franchise.
