Focalpoint_Coaching Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
You will operate the Franchised Business within a specific Territory that we first must approve. You will not receive an exclusive territory. You may face competition from other FocalPoint Franchised Business franchise owners, from outlets that we own, or from other channels of distribution or competitive brands that we control. You may operate the Franchised Business only within the approved Territory and may not relocate the Office without our approval. We will describe the Territory in the Franchise Agreement before you sign it. We will determine the size and boundaries of the Territory in our discretion, based upon factors including population density, character of neighborhood, location and number of competing businesses and other factors. While there is no minimum territory size, we typically will define a territory to include approximately 100,000 people (residents and/or workers). You have no options, rights of first refusal, or similar rights to acquire additional franchises within the Territory or in contiguous territories.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focalpoint Coaching's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the specific territory granted to a franchisee will be described in the Franchise Agreement. This agreement must be reviewed and signed by the franchisee. Focalpoint Coaching retains the discretion to determine the size and boundaries of the territory, considering factors such as population density, the character of the neighborhood, the location and number of competing businesses, and other relevant factors. While there is no minimum territory size, Focalpoint Coaching typically defines a territory to include approximately 100,000 people, including residents and workers.
It is important to note that Focalpoint Coaching does not grant exclusive territories. This means that a franchisee may face competition from other Focalpoint Coaching franchisees, company-owned outlets, or other channels of distribution or competitive brands controlled by Focalpoint Coaching. The franchisee is restricted to operating the Franchised Business only within the approved territory and requires approval from Focalpoint Coaching to relocate the office.
Furthermore, the FDD states that franchisees have no options, rights of first refusal, or similar rights to acquire additional franchises within the Territory or in contiguous territories. Focalpoint Coaching and its affiliates retain all rights with respect to Focalpoint Coaching Franchised Businesses. This includes the right to operate or grant a franchise for the operation of another Focalpoint Coaching Franchised Business from an office located within the Territory during the term of the Franchise Agreement.
