What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focalpoint Coaching's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the training fee for Associates and Business Managers is $16,950 per person. This fee is payable immediately upon receipt of the invoice. This fee covers the initial training provided by Focalpoint Coaching to each Associate a franchisee hires or retains, as well as for new Business Managers who are approved by Focalpoint Coaching.
However, the franchisee is responsible for covering all travel and living expenses for their personnel attending the training. Focalpoint Coaching will only cover the costs of supplied food and reasonable lodging expenses while the attendee participates in the initial training program.
This means that while Focalpoint Coaching provides the training itself, franchisees need to budget for additional costs such as transportation and accommodation for their staff. This is a fairly standard practice in the franchise industry, where the franchisor provides the core training program, but franchisees bear the responsibility for logistical expenses.
