What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focalpoint Coaching's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are differences in what the company covers for travel and lodging expenses for training Associates/Business Managers compared to non-coaching personnel. For both types of personnel, the franchisee is responsible for covering all travel and living expenses for their attendees. However, Focalpoint Coaching will cover the costs of supplied food and reasonable lodging expenses while the attendee participates in the initial training for both Associates/Business Managers and non-coaching personnel.
The initial training fee for Associates and Business Managers is $16,950 per person, while the initial training fee for non-coaching personnel is $5,000 per person. This difference in training fees may reflect the different levels of training and responsibilities associated with each role. Despite the difference in training fees, the coverage of food and lodging expenses during initial training remains the same for both groups.
Prospective Focalpoint Coaching franchisees should factor in the costs of travel and living expenses for all personnel attending training, as these costs are not covered by Focalpoint Coaching. However, they can expect that supplied food and reasonable lodging will be covered by Focalpoint Coaching during the initial training period for both Associates/Business Managers and non-coaching personnel. This consistent coverage can help franchisees budget for training expenses and ensure that their staff receives the necessary training to succeed in their roles.
