ITEM 5 INITIAL FEES
Franchise Fee. The initial franchise fee (the "Franchise Fee") for a single Studio is $65,000 and is due upon execution of the Franchise Agreement. If we determine that you are financially and operationally qualified to develop multiple Studios, we may offer you the opportunity to enter into a Development Agreement, under which you will commit to develop a certain number of Studios that you and we consider appropriate. If you enter into a Development Agreement, the Franchise Fee will vary based on the number of Studios that you commit to develop. If you commit to develop between three and five Studios, the Franchise Fee will be $55,000 per Studio. If you commit to develop between six and nine Studios, the Franchise Fee will be $45,000 per Studio. If you commit to develop ten or more Studios, the Franchise Fee will be $35,000 per studio.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial franchise fee for a single studio is $65,000. This fee is due upon the execution of the Franchise Agreement. However, the FDD also indicates that the initial franchise fee may vary if a franchisee commits to developing multiple Body20 studios under a Development Agreement.
For franchisees pursuing a multi-unit development strategy, the initial franchise fee is reduced. If a franchisee commits to developing between three and five studios, the franchise fee is $55,000 per studio. For a commitment to develop between six and nine studios, the fee is further reduced to $45,000 per studio. The lowest fee of $35,000 per studio is applicable when a franchisee commits to developing ten or more studios.
In 2024, Body20's predecessor collected franchise fees ranging from $45,000 to $65,000. This indicates that the initial franchise fee structure and the multi-unit development incentives were in place prior to 2025. It is important to note that these fees are non-refundable under any circumstances, and unless otherwise specified, they must be paid in a lump sum.
