Brain_Balance Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
We have four Brain Balance® Satellite Centers which operated for a full year as of the date of this Disclosure Document. We have included these Centers in the same data set as our standard Centers. Although a Satellite Center outsources some of its administrative tasks to its related standard Center, it has the same capacity for enrollments and revenue as a standard Center.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brain Balance's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a Satellite Center outsources some of its administrative tasks to its related standard Center. The FDD indicates that despite outsourcing these tasks, the Satellite Center maintains the same capacity for enrollments and revenue as a standard Brain Balance Center.
For a prospective franchisee, this means that operating a Satellite Center might involve a different operational structure compared to a standard center. While the Satellite Center handles enrollments and aims for similar revenue, certain administrative duties are managed by the related standard center. This could potentially reduce the administrative burden on the Satellite Center franchisee, allowing them to focus more on program delivery and client interaction.
However, the FDD does not specify exactly which administrative tasks are outsourced. A potential franchisee should seek clarification from Brain Balance regarding the specific administrative responsibilities that are outsourced, the costs associated with these outsourced services, and the level of support provided by the related standard center. Understanding these details is crucial for assessing the operational and financial implications of choosing a Satellite Center versus a standard Brain Balance franchise.
