When are the payments for expenditures in the Standard Brain Balance Center Estimate due?

According to the 2025 Brain Balance Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 7 provides a table outlining the estimated initial investment for a standard Brain Balance center, including when payments are due. However, the provided excerpts do not include the actual data from the table specifying when each type of expenditure is due. The table is present, with columns for "Type of Expenditure", "Estimated Cost", "Method of Payment", "When Due", and "To Whom Payment Is to Be Made", but the rows are empty.

Without the completed table, it is impossible to determine the specific due dates for each expenditure. The FDD does mention various expenditures, such as the initial franchise fee, program kits, technology fees, business licenses, leasehold improvements, insurance, and initial marketing. The timing of these payments will likely vary; for example, the franchise fee is typically due upon signing the franchise agreement, while rent and utilities are usually paid monthly.

A prospective Brain Balance franchisee should carefully review the complete Item 7 of the FDD and ask the franchisor for a detailed breakdown of when each initial investment expenditure is due. Understanding the payment schedule is crucial for managing cash flow and ensuring sufficient funds are available when needed during the initial setup phase. It would also be prudent to inquire about any potential variations in these due dates based on specific circumstances or vendor agreements.
