What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Gokhale Method Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are generally prohibited from allowing other individuals to teach the Gokhale Method without express written consent from Gokhale Method. This restriction is explicitly stated in the franchise agreement, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the quality and standards of the Gokhale System.
The franchise agreement specifies that franchisees themselves must be personally involved in carrying out the duties of the agreement. They cannot delegate, franchise, or employ others to fulfill these responsibilities. This clause ensures that only qualified and approved individuals, directly contracted with Gokhale Method, are delivering the Gokhale Method instruction.
This policy protects the integrity of the Gokhale Method brand and ensures consistent quality across all franchised locations. For a prospective franchisee, this means they must be prepared to be actively involved in the teaching and operation of the franchise, and they cannot rely on employing others to teach the method unless specifically authorized by Gokhale Method in writing.
