What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focalpoint Coaching's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Brand Damages are incurred if a franchisee terminates the Franchise Agreement before it expires. The amount of these damages will vary depending on the circumstances of the early termination.
The FDD specifies that Brand Damages include all damages, costs, expenses, attorneys' and experts' fees directly or indirectly related to the early termination. This includes, but is not limited to, lost Royalties, lost profits, loss of goodwill and damage to Focalpoint Coaching's Marks and reputation, lost opportunities, travel and personnel costs, expenses that Focalpoint Coaching may incur in finding another franchise owner, and any other lost payments or benefits Focalpoint Coaching would have received for the balance of the term of the Franchise Agreement after the effective date of termination.
For a prospective Focalpoint Coaching franchisee, this means that prematurely ending the franchise agreement could result in significant financial penalties. These penalties are designed to compensate Focalpoint Coaching for the financial losses and damages to its brand resulting from the early termination. Franchisees should carefully consider the potential implications of early termination and seek legal and financial advice before making any decisions that could lead to such damages.
