According to Brain Balance's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, in 2024, Brain Balance's total revenues were $5,834,704. Of that amount, approximately $1,681,749, or 28.8% of revenue, came from required purchases. The FDD specifies that no affiliate of Brain Balance collected revenue from these required purchases.

This means that while franchisees are required to make certain purchases, the revenue from those purchases goes directly to Brain Balance, and not to any affiliated companies. This is a fairly common practice in franchising, as franchisors often derive revenue from required purchases as a way to ensure quality control and brand consistency across all franchise locations.

For a prospective Brain Balance franchisee, this information is important for understanding the revenue streams of the franchisor and the potential costs associated with operating a franchise. It also provides transparency regarding where the money spent on required purchases is going. Franchisees should consider this information when evaluating the overall financial viability of the Brain Balance franchise opportunity.
