What time period do the estimated expenses cover during the initial operation of a Body Brain Center?

According to Body Brain Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated expenses cover the first 3 months of operation. These expenses include payroll costs (excluding any wage or salary paid to the franchisee), monthly software fees paid to Body Brain Center or BBYHC, advertising costs, utilities, postal costs, additional inventory and office supplies, gas costs, and other miscellaneous expenses.

Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these estimated expenses when planning their initial budget. It is important to note that the estimate does not include any wage or salary paid to the franchisee. This means that franchisees will need to have sufficient personal funds to cover their own living expenses during the initial 3-month period, in addition to the estimated business expenses.

Furthermore, the FDD states that these figures are estimates based on the past experience of Body Brain Center's parent company and franchisees in operating their Dahn Yoga Centers and Body & Brain Centers. The document also notes that franchisees may have additional expenses starting their business. Therefore, it is crucial for prospective franchisees to conduct their own thorough financial analysis and consult with experienced business advisors to develop a realistic budget for their specific circumstances.
