What This Means (2025 FDD)
The 2025 Body Brain Center Franchise Disclosure Document does not explicitly state whether it is effective in Maryland as of the issuance date, February 12, 2025. However, the document includes a receipt page that refers to state-specific requirements for franchise registration, filing, or exemption under laws regulating business opportunities. It also mentions that Exhibit A of the disclosure document lists state agencies and administrators. This suggests that Body Brain Center is aware of state-specific regulations and may have taken steps to comply with them.
To determine if the Body Brain Center franchise is currently effective in Maryland, prospective franchisees should review Exhibit A of the FDD, which lists the relevant state agencies. If Maryland is listed in Exhibit A, it indicates that Body Brain Center has likely taken steps to register or file for an exemption in that state.
If Maryland is not listed in Exhibit A or to confirm the current status, a potential franchisee should directly ask Body Brain Center whether the franchise offering is currently registered and effective in Maryland. They may also want to contact the Maryland state agency responsible for franchise regulation to verify the information provided by the franchisor.
