According to Brain Balance's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are not required to purchase a desktop or laptop computer. While not mandatory, Brain Balance recommends purchasing a desktop or laptop with Wi-Fi or ethernet connectivity to access all applications.

However, franchisees must purchase at least three iPads or Android tablets with a minimum screen size of 12 inches, no older than 3 years, and with internet accessibility. These tablets are necessary to access aspects of the assessment and for program delivery. Brain Balance does not specify any particular vendor from whom franchisees must purchase these items.

This recommendation of a desktop or laptop provides franchisees with the flexibility to choose a computer that best suits their needs and budget, as Brain Balance does not mandate a specific vendor. However, the required purchase of tablets ensures that all franchisees have the necessary technology for assessments and program delivery, maintaining consistency across all Brain Balance centers.
