Can a Gokhale Method franchisee teach students aggregated together by a third party that is not the franchisee?

According to the 2024 Gokhale Method Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are specifically restricted in the types of student groups they are authorized to teach. The franchise agreement grants the right to teach the Gokhale System only to individual students or groups of students solicited individually, referred to as "Consumer Students."

Notably, Gokhale Method franchisees are explicitly prohibited from teaching other types of student groups. This includes groups organized by companies or organizations ("Corporate Groups") and, most relevant to the question, students with no prior affiliation aggregated together by a third party that is not the franchisee ("Wholesale Groups").

This restriction means that a Gokhale Method franchisee cannot offer classes or workshops to groups of students brought together by an external organization. This limitation is a significant factor for prospective franchisees to consider, as it defines the scope of their potential customer base and the marketing strategies they can employ. Franchisees must focus on attracting individual students or building their own groups rather than partnering with external entities to fill classes.
