How many instances of insufficient funds can occur before Brightstar Care considers it grounds for termination?

According to Brightstar Care's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement can be terminated if there are multiple instances of insufficient funds. Specifically, Brightstar Care may terminate the agreement if a franchisee has insufficient funds in their bank account to cover a check or EFT payment to Brightstar Care three or more times.

In addition to issues with payments to Brightstar Care, insufficient funds to cover payroll at any time, whether or not those violations are corrected, also constitutes grounds for termination. This clause highlights the critical importance of maintaining sufficient funds to meet financial obligations, both to the franchisor and to employees.

This policy is in place to protect Brightstar Care from financial risk and to ensure the stability and reputation of the franchise system. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider their financial resources and management capabilities to avoid falling into default due to insufficient funds.
