Does the Brain Balance franchisee have to pay a registration fee for the annual convention?

According to Brain Balance's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to attend the annual convention and pay a registration fee. The cost of this registration can vary, depending on factors such as the program offered, the number of speakers, and the contributions from sponsors. This means a Brain Balance franchisee must budget for this expense annually.

In addition to the registration fee, franchisees are also responsible for covering their own travel, lodging, and food costs associated with attending the convention. However, the FDD indicates that Brain Balance may offer discounts or subsidies to help offset these additional expenses. Franchisees should inquire about the availability and extent of such support when planning their attendance.

Fees for the annual convention are transferred to Brain Balance via ACH (Automated Clearing House). This means the franchisee must authorize Brain Balance to debit their bank account for the registration fee. This is part of a broader agreement where Brain Balance can debit the franchisee's account for all payments due under the franchise agreement. Franchisees should be aware of this payment method and ensure they have sufficient funds available when the fees are due.
