What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Brain Balance Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must get prior written approval from Brain Balance for all content used on the franchisee's link to the company's website. This indicates that franchisees have a designated space or link connected to the main Brain Balance website.
The FDD also states that Brain Balance will license software to the franchisee under an Application License Agreement, as detailed in Section 15 of the agreement. Additionally, Brain Balance will provide franchisees with the methods, assessment tools, tests, protocols, and procedures needed to implement the Brain Balance Program.
While the FDD mentions a franchisee's link to the Brain Balance website and the licensing of software, it does not explicitly detail how franchisees access this software. For a prospective franchisee, it would be important to clarify the exact method of software access, including login procedures, hardware requirements, and any associated training or support, directly with Brain Balance.
