Does Focalpoint Coaching have the right to operate Focalpoint Franchised Businesses at Non-Traditional Sites within the Territory?

According to Focalpoint Coaching's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Focalpoint Coaching retains the right to operate Focalpoint Franchised Businesses at Non-Traditional Sites within and outside a franchisee's territory. Non-Traditional Sites are defined as locations that generate customer traffic independent of the surrounding area's general customer flow. Examples of Non-Traditional Sites include military bases, major industrial or office complexes, hotels, hospitals, and school campuses.

This means that Focalpoint Coaching can establish Focalpoint Coaching franchises in locations within or outside a franchisee's territory that might draw customers away from the franchisee's business. This could create competition for the franchisee, even within their designated territory.

For a prospective franchisee, this clause highlights the non-exclusive nature of the territorial rights granted by Focalpoint Coaching. While a franchisee is granted a specific territory, Focalpoint Coaching retains considerable freedom to operate or franchise other businesses, including those at Non-Traditional Sites, regardless of their proximity to the franchisee's location. This is an important factor to consider when evaluating the potential for competition and market saturation within a given territory.
