What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focalpoint Coaching's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training fee for non-coaching personnel is $5,000 per person. This fee is due immediately upon receipt of the invoice from Focalpoint Coaching. This fee covers the training of any non-coaching staff members that Focalpoint Coaching approves.
In addition to the training fee, the franchisee is responsible for covering all travel and living expenses for the non-coaching personnel attending the training. However, Focalpoint Coaching will cover the costs of supplied food and reasonable lodging during the training program.
It is important to note that this training fee is separate from other fees associated with the franchise, such as the Technology Fee or Conference Registration Fee. Franchisees should factor in this cost when budgeting for initial and ongoing expenses. The FDD also mentions training fees for associates and business managers, which are significantly higher at $16,950 per person, highlighting the importance of understanding the different training requirements and associated costs for various personnel roles within the franchise.
