If BrightStar Care modifies the Licensed Marks, how many days do I have to implement the changes?

According to BrightStar Care's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if changes are related to the Licensed Marks, franchisees will have one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of notice to implement such changes. This allowance is provided under Section 9.1 of the franchise agreement, which addresses modifications to the BrightStar Care Agency Program.

This provision is important for prospective franchisees because it provides a defined timeframe to adapt their business operations to changes mandated by BrightStar Care. These changes could include rebranding efforts, updates to marketing materials, or alterations to the agency's appearance. The 120-day period allows franchisees time to budget for and execute these changes without disrupting their business.

However, it's crucial to note that the franchisee is responsible for the costs associated with implementing these changes. Franchisees should factor in potential expenses related to rebranding or updating their agency's appearance when evaluating the financial viability of the franchise. Additionally, the FDD states that BrightStar Care may implement Dual Branding, which may also involve changes to the Licensed Marks, and franchisees will have 120 days from the date of notice to implement these changes as well.
