What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brain Balance's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Brain Balance can increase the annual convention fee with at least 30 days' notice. Currently, the annual convention fee is $750 per person for franchisees and $700 per person for staff. Brain Balance has the right to increase this fee up to $1,500 per person.
This means that a prospective Brain Balance franchisee should be aware that the cost of attending the annual convention could potentially double. Franchisees should factor in the possibility of increased convention fees when budgeting for ongoing operational costs.
It is also important to note that the convention fee does not include travel, lodging, and food expenses, which will be in addition to the registration fee. However, the FDD states that some of these additional expenses may be discounted or subsidized by Brain Balance. Franchisees should inquire about the extent and availability of these discounts or subsidies to better estimate the total cost of attending the annual convention.
