Does Brightstar Care charge interest on accounts receivable?

Based on the 2025 Brightstar Care Franchise Disclosure Document, it is not possible to determine whether Brightstar Care charges interest on accounts receivable. While the document mentions "accounts receivable" in the context of contract assets, it does not specify if interest is charged on these receivables. The FDD states that contract assets include accrued revenue for items not invoiced at the end of a period because billing occurs after the performance obligation is fulfilled.

Item 21 of the FDD includes financial statements and notes that detail various aspects of Brightstar Care's financial operations, such as affiliated company notes receivable and payable, property and equipment, internally developed software, and income taxes. However, none of these sections provide information on whether Brightstar Care assesses interest on outstanding accounts receivable from its franchisees or clients.

A prospective Brightstar Care franchisee should directly ask the franchisor about their policies regarding interest on accounts receivable. Specifically, they should inquire under what circumstances interest is charged, the applicable interest rates, and the terms for payment. Understanding these policies is crucial for managing cash flow and financial planning as a franchisee.
