What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to HealthSource Chiropractic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, construction allowances are not always available. Item 7 clarifies that the availability of construction allowances depends on negotiations with the landlord. These allowances, which can help offset the costs of leasehold improvements and decorating, will vary and are not guaranteed.
For a prospective HealthSource Chiropractic franchisee, this means that the initial investment for a Start-up Clinic, which ranges from $421,291 to $618,387, or a Conversion Clinic, which ranges from $115,764 to $425,584, could be higher if a landlord does not offer a construction allowance. The FDD estimates leasehold improvements/decorating costs to be between $122,500 and $227,500 for a Start-up Clinic and between $0 and $120,000 for a Conversion Clinic, so the absence of an allowance can significantly impact the initial costs.
Therefore, it is crucial for potential HealthSource Chiropractic franchisees to factor in the possibility of not receiving a construction allowance when planning their initial investment. They should also proactively negotiate with landlords to secure the best possible terms, keeping in mind that the actual building and construction costs will depend on the condition and size of the premises, as well as local construction costs.
