What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focus Cfo's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the in-person 'All Hands Meetings' are held in Columbus, Ohio. These meetings occur in the fall, while a separate 'All Hands Meeting' is held virtually in the spring. Franchisees are responsible for their own travel and lodging expenses to attend the in-person meetings. While attendance to these meetings is not required, all franchisees are invited.
In addition to the 'All Hands Meetings', Area Presidents are also invited to 'All AP' training and planning sessions, which are held in-person at a location within the United States. Area Presidents are responsible for their own travel expenses for these sessions, if applicable. Franchisees are also invited to attend monthly local group meetings, which may be in-person in their local market or virtual, with franchisees responsible for their own travel expenses.
Focus Cfo may also hold other additional training sessions either in-person or virtually from time to time. If a franchisee chooses to participate in these sessions, the franchisee will be responsible for its own travel and lodging expenses, if applicable. Franchisees are also required to attend one Climb the Mountain® Workshop, which reinforces best practices introduced in the initial training in Playbook. This workshop is offered at least twice a year and is held in-person at a location within the United States.
