What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Gokhale Method Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must have a digital projector. The FDD specifies that the digital projector must have "sufficient brightness for your location." The franchisee is allowed to purchase the projector from any source, as long as it meets Gokhale Method's specifications.
In addition to the projector, franchisees must also have a projector screen with a diagonal measure of at least 60 inches. Like the projector, the franchisee can purchase the projector screen from any source, provided it meets Gokhale Method's standards.
Prospective franchisees should consider the size and lighting conditions of their teaching location when selecting a projector to ensure it meets the "sufficient brightness" requirement. It would be prudent to confirm the specific brightness standards with Gokhale Method to avoid purchasing equipment that does not meet their requirements.
