What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focus Cfo's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee wishes to relocate their business, Focus Cfo's approval is required, but Focus Cfo will not unreasonably withhold consent. The two primary factors Focus Cfo considers are the proposed geography of the new location and the potential market for clients in that area.
This means that a Focus Cfo franchisee cannot simply move their business without permission. Focus Cfo evaluates the relocation request based on whether the new location makes business sense. They want to ensure that the new location is viable and that the franchisee will have the opportunity to succeed there.
For a prospective franchisee, this highlights the importance of carefully selecting the initial location and understanding the terms under which relocation might be considered. It also suggests that open communication with Focus Cfo about location strategy is essential.
