What This Means (2025 FDD)

The 2025 Brightstar Care Franchise Disclosure Document states that franchisees may receive a 10% discount on the Initial Franchise Fee for additional territories if certain conditions are met. Specifically, the franchisee must be in compliance with their existing Franchise Agreement, the agency must have been open for at least 12 months, and the agency must meet the then-current expansion requirements.

This discount applies to the Initial Franchise Fee for the additional territory, which is normally $50,000 for a territory with a population between 200,000 and 300,000, or $25,000 for a Medium Density or Small territory with less than 200,000 population. The discount is contingent on meeting Brightstar Care's expansion requirements at the time of the additional purchase.

While the document mentions a potential discount for additional territories, it does not explicitly state whether the VetFran discount can be applied to subsequent territory purchases. A prospective franchisee should confirm with Brightstar Care whether the VetFran discount can be combined with or applied to additional territory purchases, and what specific requirements or limitations may apply.

It is important to note that Brightstar Care retains the right to modify expansion policies and requirements, so franchisees should stay informed of any changes that may affect their eligibility for discounts on future territory acquisitions.
