Focus_Cfo Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
You will receive a specific non-exclusive geographic territory to conduct your business. We may allow multiple Franchisees to operate within the same geographic area. You will be expected to work in a collaborative manner with other Franchisees within your geographic area. Your territory will be a seventy-five (75) mile radius of the address of your franchised business, but this territory shall not extend into neighboring states where Focus CFO is not registered to sell franchises as of the effective date of your franchise agreement. You are not authorized to perform any form of direct outreach marketing, solicitation or networking activities for lead generation or building a referral network outside of the geographic territory that we grant to you. In order to perform these activities outside of your geographic territory, you will be required to purchase an additional territory. Focus CFO reserves the right to approve or deny your request to purchase an additional territory. If you are approved to purchase an additional territory, you will be required to pay a fee equal to the then-current franchise fee and you may be required to sign the then-current Franchise Agreement or an Amendment to your current Franchise Agreement.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Focus Cfo's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees receive a non-exclusive geographic territory to conduct business. This territory extends seventy-five (75) miles in radius from the address of the franchised business. However, this territory cannot extend into neighboring states where Focus CFO is not registered to sell franchises as of the franchise agreement's effective date.
Focus Cfo may allow multiple franchisees to operate within the same geographic area, requiring franchisees to collaborate with each other. Franchisees are restricted from performing direct outreach marketing, solicitation, or networking activities outside their assigned territory for lead generation or building a referral network without purchasing an additional territory. To conduct these activities outside the initial territory, a franchisee must seek approval from Focus CFO and pay a fee equivalent to the then-current franchise fee, potentially requiring them to sign a new franchise agreement or an amendment to their existing one.
Focus Cfo does not reserve the right to use other distribution channels, such as virtual services, within a franchisee's territory. Additionally, neither Focus CFO nor its affiliates operate or plan to operate businesses under different trademarks that would offer the same services as Focus CFO. Franchisees need to obtain approval from Focus CFO to relocate their business, which will not be unreasonably withheld, with considerations including the proposed new location and its market potential.
