What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focalpoint Coaching's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, attendance at an annual regional meeting is not strictly required, but may be. The document states that Focalpoint Coaching may require franchisees to attend an annual national meeting and an annual regional meeting.
Focalpoint Coaching stipulates that in-person attendance at these annual meetings will not exceed 5 days within any calendar year. Franchisees are responsible for covering all associated travel, living expenses, and wages incurred while attending these courses and meetings.
While attendance is not definitively mandated, prospective franchisees should consider the potential costs and time commitment associated with these meetings. It would be prudent to clarify with Focalpoint Coaching the frequency and locations of these meetings to better assess the financial and logistical implications for their specific franchise.
