How much money did Brain Balance collect for the advertising fund in 2024?

According to Brain Balance's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the brand collected $841,893.57 for its national advertising fund in 2024. All Brain Balance centers, whether corporate-owned or franchised, are required to contribute 2% of their gross revenue to this fund on a monthly basis.

The advertising fund is used to promote the Brain Balance brand through various marketing and advertising initiatives. These initiatives include market research, advertising production, brand positioning, parent-facing materials, photography, television, video, radio production, client testimonials, public relations, and website development. However, the fund does not cover the costs of local advertising or media placement, which franchisees must finance themselves.

Brain Balance maintains the advertising fund in a separate account and will provide franchisees with an annual summary of how the advertising fund was spent. Franchisees do not receive a copy of the annual financial audit, but can request a more extensive accounting in writing, which Brain Balance will provide within 30 business days if required by law.
