What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Focalpoint Coaching's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchised Business will be operated from an office located at the principal business address listed on Exhibit B. The office location may be in a residence. However, if the office is located in a non-residential location, the lease for the Office shall contain certain provisions prescribed by Focalpoint Coaching.

The Franchise Agreement states that the office must primarily be used for the operation of the Franchised Business, but Franchisee may operate businesses that are not a Competitive Business from the Office. The franchisee may not relocate the office without Focalpoint Coaching's prior written approval, and no additional offices may be established without prior written approval.

If an Office has not been approved in writing by Focalpoint Coaching as of the Effective Date, Franchisee agrees to locate an Office acceptable to Franchisor and obtain Franchisor's written approval of the location within sixty (60) days following the Effective Date. The franchisee must open and operate the Franchised Business within sixty (60) days following the Effective Date. This means a prospective franchisee needs to secure and have approved an office location promptly after the franchise agreement's effective date to avoid delays in commencing operations.
