What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fitstop's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, before attending Corporate Training, franchisees must first complete any introductory Remote Training. Additionally, they must comply with Pre-Training Conditions.
The Pre-Training Conditions include expending the required amounts on marketing and pre-opening sales activities designated or approved by Fitstop in connection with the initial marketing plan. Franchisees 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.
Furthermore, franchisees must demonstrate that they have obtained all required insurance coverages as specified in the Franchise Agreement and the Manual. They must also provide Fitstop with completed and signed copies of all agreements and contracts attached as exhibits to the Franchise Agreement, to the extent these documents have not yet been signed, updated, or completed. Meeting these preconditions is essential for franchisees to be eligible for Corporate Training and Initial On-Site Training.
