What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focalpoint Coaching's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee meets specific requirements and chooses to acquire a successor franchise, the territory will remain the same. To be eligible for a successor franchise, the franchisee must have substantially complied with the existing agreement, be in full compliance with the agreement and all system standards at the time of renewal, and, if applicable, maintain, remodel, or secure a substitute office that meets Focalpoint Coaching's standards.
If these conditions are met, the franchisee can obtain a successor franchise for a term of seven years. The new franchise agreement may differ materially from the original, except for the territory, which will remain the same. This means that while other terms, such as royalty and fund contributions, could change, the geographic area in which the franchisee can operate will not be altered.
To secure the successor franchise, the franchisee must pay a renewal fee of $5,000, plus any applicable taxes. This fee must be submitted along with the written notice of the franchisee's intent to acquire the successor franchise. This provision offers some stability for existing Focalpoint Coaching franchisees, as they can continue operating in the same territory if they meet the renewal requirements and pay the necessary fees.
