What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Brain Balance Franchise Disclosure Document, any consulting services that last more than four hours are considered a 'full day'. If a franchisee requests additional training and consultation because they failed to master the principles of the licensed technology, if system development results in new principles or protocols, or at the franchisee's request, Brain Balance will provide the services at the franchisee's office, at the franchisee's sole cost and expense.
Brain Balance charges $1,000 per diem for a full day of consulting. Consulting services lasting more than one half hour and less than four hours are considered a 'half day' and will cost $500. Time spent by a consultant lasting less than one half hour will not be considered consultation services.
If a franchisee requests consulting services from a specific individual, the per diem rate increases to $1,500, and the half-day rate becomes $750. However, Brain Balance is under no obligation to provide the services of a particular individual. Franchisees should consider these costs when budgeting for potential additional support and training.
