What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Caring Transitions' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the start date for the National Branding Fund fee can be extended under specific conditions. The National Branding Fund fee is generally due beginning on the fifth day of the second month following the completion of the initial training program.
However, Caring Transitions will extend the National Branding Fund start date for an additional month if the franchisee meets certain requirements. These requirements include complying with Caring Transitions' System Standards for opening the business, which involves completing a business plan and engaging in recommended marketing activities.
In addition to meeting the System Standards, the franchisee must also sign a general release and be in full compliance with the Franchise Agreement to qualify for the one-month extension of the National Branding Fund start date. This provides a potential benefit to new franchisees by giving them more time to prepare their business before incurring this particular fee.
