What happens if the Focalpoint Coaching office is in a non-residential location?

According to the 2025 Focalpoint Coaching FDD, if the Focalpoint Coaching office is in a non-residential location, the lease for the office must contain specific provisions required by Focalpoint Coaching. These provisions include notifying Focalpoint Coaching of any lease defaults by the franchisee. Focalpoint Coaching also retains the right to cure these defaults within a reasonable time frame. Additionally, the lease may be assigned by the franchisee to Focalpoint Coaching at any time.

These requirements protect Focalpoint Coaching's interests by ensuring they are aware of any potential issues with the franchisee's lease and have the ability to step in and resolve them. This could involve paying overdue rent or taking over the lease entirely. This arrangement gives Focalpoint Coaching more control over the location of the franchise and reduces the risk of disruption to the business.

Furthermore, the location of the Focalpoint Coaching office plays a role in the renewal of the franchise agreement. To acquire a successor franchise term, if the office is in a non-residential location, the franchisee must maintain possession of the office and agree to remodel or expand it as required by Focalpoint Coaching to meet the system standards for new Focalpoint Coaching franchises. Alternatively, the franchisee can secure a substitute office that Focalpoint Coaching approves and develop that office according to the system standards. This ensures that the franchise continues to operate in a location that meets Focalpoint Coaching's standards and reflects the current brand image.
