What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Focalpoint Coaching Franchise Disclosure Document, the Washington Addendum to the Focalpoint Coaching Franchise Agreement is signed at the same time as the Franchise Agreement. The Rider, which includes the Washington Addendum, is annexed to and forms part of the Franchise Agreement. The Washington Addendum is required if the franchised business will be located in Washington, if the franchisee is a resident of Washington, or if any of the offering or sales activity relating to the Franchise Agreement occurred in Washington.
This means that if a prospective Focalpoint Coaching franchisee is located in Washington, they will be required to sign the Washington Addendum at the same time as the Franchise Agreement. This ensures that the franchisee is aware of any specific regulations or requirements in the state of Washington that may affect their franchise. The Washington Addendum modifies the original franchise agreement to comply with the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act.
It is important for prospective Focalpoint Coaching franchisees in Washington to carefully review the Washington Addendum and understand how it modifies the Franchise Agreement. This will help them to ensure that they are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The FDD states that in the event of a conflict of laws, the provisions of the Washington Franchise Investment Protection Act, Chapter 19.100 RCW will prevail.
