What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Engineering For Kids's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Engineering For Kids does not currently have Regional Funds in effect for advertising. However, Engineering For Kids does have a Brand Fund in effect.
The FDD specifies that Engineering For Kids can require franchisees to contribute to advertising through a Brand Fund, a Regional Fund, or local advertising. The document also states that Engineering For Kids can change the allocation between these different forms of advertising.
As a prospective franchisee, it's important to understand that while there are no Regional Funds currently, Engineering For Kids retains the right to implement them in the future. This could impact the overall advertising fees franchisees are required to pay and how those funds are used to promote the Engineering For Kids brand at a regional level.
