What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 C3 Wellness Spa Franchise Disclosure Document, interest on any Advances made to a C3 Wellness Spa practice is calculated from the date the funds are disbursed by the Manager until they are repaid. The interest is applied at the Interest Rate, compounded daily.
The interest calculation is based on a 365- or 366-day year, depending on whether it is a leap year, and is applied for the actual number of days that have elapsed since the advance was made. The franchisee is responsible for paying the sum of all Advances, along with the accrued interest, to the Manager according to the terms outlined in Article 3 of the agreement.
This means that the cost of borrowing funds through Advances can fluctuate based on the prevailing Interest Rate and the length of time the Advance remains unpaid. The daily compounding of interest means that interest accrues on the principal amount plus any accumulated interest from previous days, potentially increasing the total repayment amount over time. Franchisees should be aware of the Interest Rate applied to Advances and aim to repay them as quickly as possible to minimize interest expenses.
