What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brain Balance's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the annual convention fee is due "at the point of registration, prior to Convention date." The fee for franchisees is $750 per person, while the fee for staff is $700 per person.
Brain Balance retains the right to increase this fee up to $1,500 per person, but they must provide at least 30 days' notice before the increase takes effect. This means franchisees need to budget not only for the current fee but also for potential increases, keeping in mind the notice period.
In addition to the registration fee, franchisees are responsible for covering travel, lodging, and food expenses associated with attending the convention. However, the FDD notes that some of these expenses may be discounted or subsidized by Brain Balance, which could help offset some of the costs. Franchisees should inquire about the extent and availability of these discounts or subsidies to better estimate their total convention expenses.
