What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Degree Wellness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Management Company requires specific rights regarding the Licensed Provider Account. The Licensed Provider must ensure that the money in the Licensed Provider Account is transferred to the Management Company's operating account at the end of each day.
To facilitate this, the Licensed Provider must grant the Management Company the necessary rights to access all information related to the Licensed Provider Account. This access enables the Management Company to cause funds to be transferred on a daily basis as stipulated in the agreement.
This arrangement ensures that the Management Company has control over the finances generated by the Studio Services. A prospective franchisee should seek clarification regarding the specifics of this financial arrangement, including the mechanisms for fund transfer, reporting, and reconciliation, to fully understand their obligations and the Management Company's control over the Licensed Provider Account.
