What is the Body20 franchisee responsible for ensuring regarding their general contractor's licensing and insurance?

According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is responsible for ensuring that their general contractor is duly licensed in their jurisdiction and adequately insured. This requirement is part of the process for approval of contractors before construction can begin on the Body20 studio.

This means that before a Body20 franchisee can start building their studio, they must not only select a general contractor approved by Body20, but also verify that the contractor meets all local licensing requirements and carries sufficient insurance coverage. This protects both the franchisee and Body20 from potential liabilities arising from the construction process.

Body20 retains the right to require franchisees to use only pre-approved general contractors, provided one is available in the franchisee's site selection area. The franchisee cannot begin construction until Body20 provides written approval of both the construction plans and the chosen general contractor. This ensures that all construction meets Body20's standards and complies with local regulations, minimizing risks and maintaining brand consistency.
