What This Means (2025 FDD)
The 2025 Brightstar Care Franchise Disclosure Document discusses training requirements for an Assignee, but does not specify where the training will be held.
According to the FDD, if someone is assigned a Brightstar Care franchise, the willingness of Brightstar Care to allow the sale and acquisition of the franchised business is conditional on the Assignee's agreement to comply fully with all operating and other requirements stated in the New Franchise Agreement and Brightstar Care's Operations Manual. The Assignee must ensure the Franchised Business is in full compliance with Brightstar Care Agency office requirements, key personnel hiring and full training requirements, and ABS conversion and usage requirements on or before a specified date. Failure to comply fully with these requirements by the specified date will be deemed a default under the New Franchise Agreement.
The FDD also states that most states have licensing, certification, or registration requirements applicable to the services a Brightstar Care franchisee will be providing. Special training and competency requirements may apply, including with respect to infection control, abuse and neglect, patient confidentiality, and the handling of client finances.
Because the FDD does not specify where the training is held, a prospective franchisee should ask the franchisor about the location of the required training.
