What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Body20 Franchise Disclosure Document, there is no mention of specific documentation that Body20 requires from a franchisee's attorney regarding the Site Lease or purchase agreement. However, the FDD does emphasize the importance of franchisees having the FDD and related agreements reviewed by an attorney or other professional advisor.
The FDD includes a receipt that the franchisee must sign, acknowledging whether or not they have personally read and understood the Franchise Agreement. This receipt also includes questions regarding whether the franchisee has discussed the FDD, related agreements, and the benefits and risks of operating a Body20 franchise with an attorney, accountant, or other professional.
While the FDD does not explicitly state what documentation Body20 requires from the franchisee's attorney, it is implied that Body20 encourages franchisees to seek legal counsel to fully understand the terms and conditions of the franchise agreement, site lease, and any related documents. It would be prudent for a prospective franchisee to clarify with Body20 what specific documents or assurances they might expect from the franchisee's legal counsel during the site selection and agreement phases.
