What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fitstop's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are several pre-conditions that a franchisee must meet before the franchisor provides on-site initial training. These conditions ensure that the franchisee is prepared to begin operations and has met certain financial and legal obligations.
Specifically, Fitstop may require that the franchisee expend the required amounts on marketing and pre-opening sales activities, as designated or approved by Fitstop, in connection with the initial marketing plan. The franchisee must also take all necessary steps to establish and provide Fitstop with access to their EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) account, including providing signed authorization forms.
Additionally, the franchisee must demonstrate that they have obtained all required insurance coverages as outlined in the Franchise Agreement and the Manual. Finally, the franchisee must provide Fitstop with completed and signed copies of all agreements and contracts attached as exhibits to the Franchise Agreement, to the extent that these documents have not yet been signed or need to be updated. Meeting these pre-conditions is essential for the franchisee to receive on-site training and proceed with the opening of their Fitstop franchise.
