What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Gokhale Method's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must have an iPad running iOS 15 or above. While the FDD specifies the minimum software requirements, it does not specify any hardware requirements such as storage capacity, screen size, or processor type.
Prospective franchisees have the flexibility to purchase the iPad from any source, provided it meets the minimum iOS requirement. This allows franchisees to shop around for the best deals and choose a device that fits their budget and needs, as long as it is running the required operating system.
It is important to note that Gokhale Method may approve exceptions to these equipment requirements on a case-by-case basis. Franchisees should confirm with Gokhale Method any specific iPad hardware requirements that may be necessary for running proprietary applications or delivering the Gokhale Method program effectively.
