How far in advance must I provide written notice of my Body20 Operating Principal and Designated Manager before opening?

According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, you must provide written notice of your Operating Principal and Designated Manager at least 60 days prior to opening your studio. The Operating Principal must have at least a 10% ownership interest in your entity, possess authority over all business decisions related to your studio, and have the power to bind you in all dealings with Body20. The Designated Manager is responsible for managing the day-to-day business operations of your studio and may also be the Operating Principal.

This requirement ensures that Body20 is aware of who is managing and controlling the franchise before it begins operations. This allows Body20 to assess the qualifications and experience of these individuals and ensure they meet the brand's standards. It also provides Body20 with sufficient time to conduct any necessary background checks or training.

Failing to provide the required notice or changing the Operating Principal or Designated Manager without prior approval from Body20 could result in a breach of the franchise agreement. This could lead to penalties or even termination of the agreement. Therefore, it is crucial to adhere to this requirement and maintain open communication with Body20 regarding any changes in management personnel.
