What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brain Balance's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, each Virtual Program Kit costs $425. Brain Balance recommends that new franchisees purchase a minimum supply of program kits as initial inventory, specifically eight In Center Program Kits and three Virtual Program Kits. Each In Center Program Kit costs $250.
As franchisees enroll families in the Brain Balance program, they will need to purchase additional kits. The initial costs for these kits may fluctuate based on the quantity of each type a franchisee decides to purchase. The FDD also notes that the cost of the kits is subject to change if the cost of equipment increases.
Prospective Brain Balance franchisees should consider the initial investment in program kits as part of their startup costs. They should also factor in the ongoing need to purchase additional kits as their enrollment numbers grow. It is important to stay informed about potential cost increases due to equipment expenses to manage inventory expenses effectively.
