What This Means (2025 FDD)
Yes, according to the 2025 Focalpoint Coaching Franchise Disclosure Document, Focalpoint Coaching periodically offers refresher training courses to its franchisees. Specifically, Item 11 outlines that Focalpoint Coaching will periodically offer refresher training courses.
In addition to refresher courses, Focalpoint Coaching requires franchisees (or their managing owner), Business Managers, and other trained employees to attend and complete various training courses that Focalpoint Coaching provides periodically, either online or in-person. Franchisees are also required to attend an annual national meeting and a regional meeting. However, in-person attendance at annual meetings will not exceed 5 days in a calendar year.
It is important to note that franchisees are responsible for all travel, living expenses, and wages incurred while attending these courses and meetings. This could represent a significant ongoing cost for franchisees, especially if travel is involved. Prospective franchisees should factor these expenses into their financial projections and understand the frequency and location of required training and meetings.
