According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to contribute the Brand Fund Fee weekly. This fee is determined by Body20, but it will not exceed 4% of the franchisee's Gross Sales. The Brand Fund is dedicated to activities that Body20 believes will benefit the brand or the studios in general.
This weekly contribution is a consistent obligation for Body20 franchisees, impacting their cash flow and profitability. Franchisees need to factor this ongoing expense into their financial projections. It's important to note that the exact percentage can vary, up to the stated maximum of 4%, at Body20's discretion.
In addition to the Brand Fund Fee, Body20 franchisees are also responsible for local marketing expenses and may be required to participate in advertising cooperatives, which could involve additional marketing expenditures. Franchisees should be aware of these additional costs and how they might affect their overall financial obligations to Body20.
