What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focalpoint Coaching's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Focalpoint Coaching does not anticipate owning the site and leasing it to the franchisee for the office. The FDD states that the franchisee's office may be located in their residence. If the franchisee chooses to locate their office in a non-residential location, the site location must meet Focalpoint Coaching's criteria for demographic characteristics, parking, character of neighborhood, competition, proximity to other businesses, size, appearance, and other physical and commercial characteristics.
Focalpoint Coaching may use reasonable efforts to assist the franchisee in designating the location of the office, although they will not conduct site selection activities for the franchisee. If an office has not been approved in writing by Focalpoint Coaching as of the effective date of the Franchise Agreement, the franchisee agrees to locate an office acceptable to Focalpoint Coaching and obtain their written approval of the location within 60 days following the Effective Date of the Franchise Agreement.
If Focalpoint Coaching and the franchisee cannot agree on an acceptable site and the franchisee does not open their office within 60 days following the Effective Date of the Franchise Agreement, Focalpoint Coaching may terminate the Franchise Agreement.
