What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fitstop's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are several pre-conditions that a franchisee must meet before receiving on-site initial training. Fitstop may require franchisees to meet these conditions before providing Corporate Training or Initial On-Site Training.
These pre-conditions include expending the required amounts on marketing and pre-opening sales activities that Fitstop designates or approves. This relates to the franchisee's initial marketing plan, lead generation efforts, and the Initial Training Team's participation in the Initial On-Site Training at the franchisee's premises.
Additionally, franchisees must take all necessary steps to establish and provide Fitstop with access to their EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) Account, consistent with the Franchise Agreement. This includes providing Fitstop or its designee with a signed and completed copy of the authorization form attached to the Franchise Agreement, as well as any other necessary authorizations and approvals for Fitstop or its designee to access the EFT Account. Franchisees must also demonstrate that they have obtained all required insurance coverages as specified in the Agreement and the Manual. Finally, franchisees must provide Fitstop with completed and signed copies of all agreements and contracts attached as Exhibits to the Franchise Agreement, to the extent that such documents have not been signed or need to be updated or completed at that time. Meeting these pre-conditions is essential for franchisees to receive the necessary training and support from Fitstop to successfully launch their business.
