What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focalpoint Coaching's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial investment for real estate/rent ranges from $0 to $10,000. This payment is made to the landlord as incurred and agreed upon.
The FDD notes that identifying an office within the territory is the franchisee's responsibility. The office may be located in the franchisee's residence. If the office is not located in a residence, Focalpoint Coaching estimates the office should occupy approximately 200 to 800 square feet of space.
The cost of rent depends on geographic location, size, local rental rates, businesses in the area, site profile, and other factors. The FDD indicates that rent could be considerably higher in large metropolitan areas. Focalpoint Coaching franchised business offices can be located in strip shopping centers, shopping malls, free-standing units, and other venues in downtown commercial areas and in residential areas. The franchisee might choose to buy, rather than rent, real estate on which a building suitable for the office already is constructed or could be constructed. Real estate costs depend on location, size, visibility, economic conditions, accessibility, competitive market conditions, and the type of ownership interest the franchisee is buying.
