What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Healthsource Chiropractic Franchise Agreement, a franchisee operating a Start-up Clinic has 365 days from the date of the Franchise Agreement to obtain all required building, utility, sign, health, sanitation, and business permits and licenses. This is a key step in developing the franchise and ensuring it can legally operate.
This requirement is important for prospective franchisees to understand, as failing to meet this deadline could have consequences. Franchisees should proactively manage the permitting and licensing process to avoid delays. This may involve engaging with local authorities, contractors, and consultants to ensure all requirements are met within the stipulated timeframe.
For franchisees who sign the agreement pursuant to purchasing a Development Agreement, the deadline to obtain all required permits and licenses is the Opening Deadline defined in Exhibit 1. Conversion Clinics have 90 days from the date of the agreement to obtain all required permits and licenses.
