What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brain Balance's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the provided table shows the actual versus budgeted revenue for the month ending February 2025. However, the table is not fully populated with specific revenue categories. Instead, it contains a series of numbers that are not clearly labeled, making it impossible to determine the dollar variance between actual and budgeted revenue for Brain Balance in February 2025. The table does show a column labeled 'Variance (#/$)' but without knowing which line item this variance refers to, it is impossible to answer the question.
Prospective franchisees should note that the financial performance data presented in Item 23 is unaudited. The FDD explicitly states that 'Prospective Franchisees or Sellers of Franchises Should be Advised that No Independent Certified Public Accountant Has Audited These Figures or Expressed an Opinion with Regard to their Content or Form.' This means the numbers have not been verified by an independent source, so franchisees should perform their own due diligence and seek professional financial advice.
To get a clearer picture, a potential franchisee should ask Brain Balance for a detailed breakdown of the revenue figures, including specific categories and their corresponding actual and budgeted amounts. Understanding these variances is crucial for assessing the financial health and forecasting potential earnings of a Brain Balance franchise.
