What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Focus Cfo Franchise Disclosure Document, Focus Cfo grants the franchisee the nonexclusive right to join Focus Cfo as an independently operated business. This allows the franchisee to operate using the Focus Cfo System and Focus Cfo Marks.
Focus Cfo requires the franchisee to enter the agreement as a business entity, such as a limited liability company, with one equity owner who will serve as an Area President. The Area President is responsible for generating new clients using Focus Cfo's client development system.
While the Area President primarily focuses on business development, they may also perform CFO Services on a limited basis under a separate CFO Licensing Agreement or terminate the Franchise Agreement to operate solely as a CFO under a Focus Cfo Licensing Agreement. If the franchisee chooses to terminate the agreement to operate as a CFO, Focus Cfo will not refund any difference between the franchise fee and the licensing fee.
