What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, it is not possible to determine the exact transfer fee revenue for Body & Brain Center in 2023. However, the FDD does mention transfer fees in the context of a licensing agreement between the company and BR Consulting, Inc. Under this agreement, Body & Brain Center pays 20% of the total of initial franchise fees, franchise renewal fees, training fees, and transfer fees to BR Consulting, Inc.
While the FDD mentions that license expenses under this agreement totaled $105,963 for the year ended December 31, 2023, this figure represents the total license expenses and not the specific amount attributable to transfer fees. The document does not break down the individual components of this total, so the exact transfer fee revenue cannot be isolated.
For a prospective franchisee, it would be prudent to ask Body & Brain Center for a detailed breakdown of the revenues and expenses related to franchise fees, renewal fees, training fees, and transfer fees. Understanding the specific revenue generated from transfer fees can help a franchisee better assess the financial performance and stability of the franchisor.
