What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Focus Cfo Franchise Disclosure Document, Focus Cfo can modify the attachments to the franchise agreement. Specifically, Focus Cfo may modify Attachments C, D, E, F, and G, which cover Franchisee Training Requirements, Area President Responsibilities, Franchisee Performance Standards, Authority to Bind Focus CFO, and Required IT Services, respectively.
Focus Cfo can make these changes at its sole discretion. However, Focus Cfo must provide the franchisee with at least 30 days' prior written notice before the modifications take effect.
This ability to unilaterally modify attachments gives Focus Cfo flexibility to adapt the franchise system. However, it also means that the franchisee must stay informed of any changes and be prepared to adjust their business practices accordingly. While Focus Cfo can modify the attachments, the agreement also states that no amendment, change, or variance from the agreement shall be binding on either party unless executed in writing by both parties; provided however Focus CFO may, from time to time and at its sole discretion, modify, revise, amend or change the Attachments attached hereto upon written notice to Franchisee.
