What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body Brain Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, management service expenses, which include advertising, were $18,000 in 2023. This is part of an agreement where Body Brain Center pays its sole member for services such as advertising, providing supplies, management oversight, secretarial services, accounting support, training, website development, and referral fees.
This means that $18,000 was allocated to cover all those listed services, including advertising, provided by the sole member to Body Brain Center. It's important to note that this amount covers a range of services, not advertising alone, so the actual spending on advertising specifically may have been less than $18,000.
Prospective franchisees should consider this figure in the context of their own marketing plans and assess whether the support provided is sufficient for their needs. It would be prudent to inquire with Body Brain Center about the specific allocation of these funds towards advertising and the types of advertising activities covered under this agreement.
