What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focalpoint Coaching's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement has an initial term of 7 years. If a franchisee wishes to renew for an additional 7-year term, they must meet several requirements.
First, the franchisee must be in substantial compliance with the existing Franchise Agreement. They must also provide timely notice of their intent to renew and pay the renewal fee. If the Focalpoint Coaching office is in a non-residential location, the franchisee must continue to maintain possession of the premises or find a substitute location that meets Focalpoint Coaching's approval. Additionally, if the office is in a non-residential location, the franchisee must remodel the office to meet Focalpoint Coaching's then-current standards, regardless of the cost.
Finally, the franchisee must sign Focalpoint Coaching's then-current Franchise Agreement, a release (if permitted by law), and any other documents Focalpoint Coaching uses when granting franchises. It is important to note that the terms of the renewed Franchise Agreement may differ materially from the original agreement, potentially including changes to the territory and increased fees. This means a renewing franchisee may face new obligations or costs.
