What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focalpoint Coaching's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the indemnification fee is due 'as incurred.' This means a Focalpoint Coaching franchisee will be required to reimburse Focalpoint Coaching for claims arising from the operation of the franchised business. The amount of the indemnification fee will vary depending on the circumstances.
This type of fee is not uncommon in franchising, as it protects the franchisor from liabilities caused by the franchisee's business operations. It is important for a prospective Focalpoint Coaching franchisee to understand what types of claims could trigger this fee and to ensure they have adequate insurance coverage to protect themselves.
For example, if a customer were to sue Focalpoint Coaching due to something that occurred at the franchisee's location, the franchisee would be responsible for covering Focalpoint Coaching's legal costs and any damages awarded to the customer. The franchisee should carefully review the Franchise Agreement to fully understand their indemnification obligations and consult with an attorney or financial advisor if they have any questions or concerns.
