What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Eos Worldwide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must acquire a device such as a desktop, laptop, or tablet that can access the internet using a current version of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari, or Firefox. This device will be used for viewing training materials, reporting sessions, and attending virtual meetings. The computer system estimate includes the cost of purchasing a new computer and licensing required software. However, if a franchisee already owns a device less than three years old that meets Eos Worldwide's specifications, the cost may be less. Item 11 contains additional information about the required computer system.

The estimated initial investment for computer technology and hardware ranges from $2,000 to $10,000. This amount is paid to vendors as arranged. This range accounts for the potential need to purchase new equipment and software licenses if the franchisee does not already possess suitable technology.

Prospective franchisees should carefully assess their current computer hardware and software to determine if they meet Eos Worldwide's requirements. If upgrades or new purchases are necessary, they should factor the estimated cost into their overall initial investment. Reviewing Item 11 of the FDD, as suggested, will provide more detailed specifications to ensure compliance and avoid unexpected expenses.
