Eos_Worldwide Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
(b) As a United States based Franchised Business, you will be a member of our North American community and will therefore attend Boot Camp, QCEs and other training, meetings and events provided to or for the benefit of Franchised Businesses from time to time in the United States, and will be subject to the applicable Franchise System Standards for the United States. If you travel internationally, such travel may result in increased costs and travel time, travel restrictions and other burdens or inconveniences that may not be applicable to others. Accordingly, you accept all such known and unknown incremental costs, burdens, inconveniences and other risks of conducting any part of your Franchised Business outside of the United States. You will be solely responsible for managing visa and travel requirements associated with any such international travel. If you require an entry visa into any other foreign country including the United States of America, you must allow sufficient time for the visa application procedure. In addition, you may not change communities without our prior written consent. We will approve or disapprove a change request based on such factors as we deem appropriate (acting reasonably), including the basis for the change request.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Eos Worldwide Franchise Disclosure Document, as a United States-based franchised business, franchisees are considered members of the North American community. As such, franchisees are expected to attend Boot Camp, QCEs, and other training, meetings, and events provided for the benefit of franchised businesses in the United States. Franchisees are also subject to the applicable Franchise System Standards for the United States.
This means that while Eos Worldwide offers its services globally, franchisees operating within the United States are integrated into a North American community for training and compliance purposes. This implies that the standards, training, and operational guidelines are tailored to the North American market, specifically the United States. Franchisees need to be prepared to adhere to these standards and participate in required events within the United States.
If a franchisee chooses to travel internationally for business, they must bear all associated costs, burdens, and inconveniences. Additionally, franchisees cannot change communities without prior written consent from Eos Worldwide, with approval based on factors deemed appropriate by the company. This ensures that franchisees remain connected to their designated community and adhere to the relevant standards and training programs.
