What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Focalpoint Coaching Franchise Disclosure Document, Focalpoint Coaching does not make any representations about a franchisee's future financial performance or the past financial performance of company-owned or franchised outlets. Focalpoint Coaching also does not authorize its employees or representatives to make any such representations either orally or in writing.
However, if a prospective franchisee is purchasing an existing outlet, Focalpoint Coaching may provide the actual records of that outlet. The FDD stipulates that if a prospective franchisee receives any other financial performance information or projections of future income, they should report it to the franchisor's management by contacting their President, Stephen A. Thompson, at 2831 St. Rose Parkway, Suite 234, Henderson, Nevada, 89119, (877) 433-6225, the Federal Trade Commission, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies.
This policy is typical in franchising. The FTC requires franchisors to have a reasonable basis for any financial performance representations they make. By not making any representations, Focalpoint Coaching avoids potential liability if franchisees' actual results differ from projections. Prospective franchisees should be cautious about any financial projections they receive from any source other than the Item 19 disclosure in the FDD, and should independently verify any claims.
