What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brain Balance's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must purchase a minimum of three iPads or Android tablets. These tablets must have a minimum screen size of 12 inches, be no more than three years old, and have internet accessibility. The tablets are required to access aspects of the assessment and for program delivery.
In addition to the tablets, Brain Balance recommends purchasing a desktop or laptop computer with Wi-Fi or ethernet connectivity to access all other applications. However, the FDD does not specify a required vendor for these computer hardware purchases, giving franchisees some flexibility in sourcing these items.
This requirement ensures that all Brain Balance centers have the necessary technology to properly administer assessments and deliver the Brain Balance program. Prospective franchisees should factor the cost of these tablets into their initial investment.
