What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brain Balance's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, each Virtual Program Kit costs $425. The FDD 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.
Brain Balance requires franchisees to purchase more program kits as they enroll families, as every enrollment necessitates a program kit. The initial investment table reflects the recommendation of eight In Center kits and three Virtual kits, but the FDD notes that a franchisee's initial costs may be higher or lower based on how many of each kit they decide to purchase.
The FDD also states that the cost of kits may increase as the cost of equipment increases. This implies that the $425 price for the Virtual Program Kit is subject to change, potentially increasing the initial investment for a Brain Balance franchise.
