What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body Brain Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must use BBYHC's proprietary web-based operations software, BRMNet. Currently, the software fee is $40 per month, but it may increase up to a maximum of $100 per month. This fee covers technical support, updates, and upgrades to the software.
Body Brain Center reserves the right to change the required software at any time. If the franchisor requires the franchisee to use software licensed from them, they may require the franchisee to sign a software license agreement and charge commercially reasonable initial and ongoing licensing fees. Alternatively, Body Brain Center may enter into software license agreements with licensors and sublicense the software to the franchisee. In this case, the franchisee may be charged for all amounts Body Brain Center must pay to the licensor based on the franchisee's software use.
For a prospective Body Brain Center franchisee, it's important to note that while the current software fee is $40 per month, this fee could increase up to $100 per month. Additionally, the franchisee may be subject to additional software costs if Body Brain Center changes the required software and enters into new licensing agreements. It would be prudent for a potential franchisee to inquire about the likelihood of software changes and potential cost increases.
