Are Brightstar Care franchisees required to pay a fee to renew their franchise agreement?

According to Brightstar Care's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to pay a renewal fee if they choose to renew their franchise agreement. The franchise agreements include renewal options, and to exercise this option, a renewal fee must be paid to Brightstar Care.

This is a fairly standard practice in the franchise industry, as renewal fees compensate the franchisor for the continued use of their brand, systems, and support. However, the FDD does not specify the amount of the renewal fee.

Prospective franchisees should inquire about the specific amount of the renewal fee and the terms and conditions associated with renewing their Brightstar Care franchise agreement. Understanding these costs is crucial for long-term financial planning and assessing the overall profitability of the franchise.
