What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body Brain Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to use BBYHC's proprietary web-based operations software, BRMNet. The monthly software fee for BRMNet is currently $40, which includes technical support, updates, and upgrades to the software. This fee is payable on the 6th day of each month.
Body Brain Center reserves the right to change the required software at any time. If the franchisor requires franchisees to use software licensed from them, they may require franchisees 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 the licensors and sublicense the software to franchisees, charging franchisees the amounts they must pay to the licensors based on software usage.
The FDD also specifies that the software fee is subject to change, but the table in Item 6 indicates that the fee will not exceed $100 per month. This provides some assurance to franchisees regarding potential cost increases for the software. Franchisees are required to sign a Software Service Agreement, which is attached to the Disclosure Document as EXHIBIT "G".
