What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Focalpoint Coaching Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee refuses to allow Focalpoint Coaching to inspect their office, franchised business, or business records upon request, it constitutes a breach of the franchise agreement.
Specifically, refusing an inspection is listed as a cause for default under the franchise agreement. Other causes for default include failing to comply with a section of the agreement, maintaining false records, or making misrepresentations to governmental authorities.
While the excerpt does not explicitly state the remedies Focalpoint Coaching may pursue upon default, Item 22 indicates that there are "Franchisor's Alternate Remedies Upon Franchisee's Default." A prospective franchisee should carefully review the entire Item 22 of the FDD to understand the full scope of Focalpoint Coaching's rights and remedies in the event of a franchisee default, including potential termination of the franchise agreement.
