What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focalpoint Coaching's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor will not require in-person attendance for training and meetings for more than five days during any calendar year. This applies to the franchisee, the franchisee's managing owner, the Business Manager, and other previously trained and experienced employees.
This means a prospective Focalpoint Coaching franchisee can expect to spend a maximum of 5 days in person at training courses, the annual national meeting, and the annual regional meeting. The franchisee is responsible for all costs associated with attending these events, including registration fees, travel, and living expenses.
While the in-person attendance is capped at 5 days, Focalpoint Coaching may also require attendance at various training courses that they periodically provide either online or in-person. The franchisee should budget for both the time commitment and the expenses associated with these required training events.
