What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Healthsource Chiropractic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Computer Software/Hardware Installation Fee covers all expenses that Healthsource Chiropractic incurs related to installing, providing, supporting, modifying, and enhancing any proprietary software or hardware that they develop and license to the franchisee. It also covers the costs associated with providing Computer System-related maintenance and support services that Healthsource Chiropractic or its affiliates provide to the franchisee.
This fee is payable as incurred, meaning that the franchisee will be charged as these services are provided. This is different from a fixed fee, where the franchisee knows the exact cost upfront. The franchisee should be aware that the amount of this fee can vary depending on the extent of software/hardware installation, support, modifications, and enhancements needed.
Prospective franchisees should inquire about the typical range of costs for this fee, what specific software and hardware are included, and what ongoing maintenance and support services are covered to better understand the potential financial implications. Understanding the scope of these services and their associated costs is crucial for budgeting and financial planning as a Healthsource Chiropractic franchisee.
