What training requirements must a transferee of a Brightstar Care franchise satisfy?

According to Brightstar Care's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a transferee must complete training requirements. The prospective transferee and/or its designated managerial personnel must complete training that Brightstar Care requires of comparable Agency franchisees to the company's satisfaction.

This means that someone buying an existing Brightstar Care franchise must ensure they, and potentially their management team, undergo the same training as a new franchisee. This could include initial training programs, and any ongoing or advanced training that Brightstar Care deems necessary for the role. The FDD does not specify the content, length, or location of the training, only that it must be completed to Brightstar Care's satisfaction.

As a prospective franchisee, it is important to discuss the specific training requirements for transferees with Brightstar Care. Understanding the scope and costs associated with these training programs is crucial for budgeting and operational planning. It would also be prudent to inquire about any differences in training requirements between new franchisees and transferees, and how Brightstar Care assesses whether the training has been completed to their satisfaction.
