Does Fitstop receive indirect payments for placing financing with any person or company on behalf of a franchisee?

Based on the 2024 Fitstop Franchise Disclosure Document, there is no explicit mention of Fitstop receiving indirect payments for placing financing with any person or company on behalf of a franchisee. However, the document does state that Fitstop may negotiate and/or receive rebates or other financial incentives from the manufacturers and suppliers of any Required Items and/or Approved Products that a System franchisee must acquire and/or offer for sale.

Fitstop retains for its own benefit all rebates or payments received from any Approved Suppliers and/or other providers/suppliers, whether or not such rebates or payments are made as a consequence of purchases by the franchisee. This suggests that while Fitstop doesn't directly receive payments for franchisee financing, they do benefit financially from relationships with suppliers whose products franchisees are required or approved to purchase.

It is important for a prospective Fitstop franchisee to understand the full scope of these potential rebates and financial incentives, and how they might affect the overall cost of operating the franchise. Further clarification from Fitstop on any indirect financial benefits they receive related to franchisee operations would provide a more complete picture of the financial relationship between the franchisee and franchisor.
