What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focalpoint Coaching's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training fee for associates is $16,950 per person. While the franchisee is responsible for covering the travel and living expenses for their associates attending the training, Focalpoint Coaching will cover the costs of supplied food and reasonable lodging expenses while the attendee participates in the initial training.
This means that while franchisees need to budget for transportation costs to and from the training location for their associates, Focalpoint Coaching will handle the lodging and food expenses during the initial training program. This can help reduce the overall financial burden on the franchisee during the initial setup phase.
For non-coaching personnel, the initial training fee is $5,000 per person, and the same conditions apply regarding travel, food, and lodging expenses. Additionally, for any additional training or assistance beyond the initial training, the franchisee is responsible for all related travel and living expenses, although Focalpoint Coaching will cover the costs of supplied food and reasonable lodging expenses for attendees to initial training for whom they have received the initial training fee.
