What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Healthsource Chiropractic FDD, whether you are required to construct or build out the clinic yourself depends on the franchise structure. In a standard Healthsource Chiropractic franchise, the FDD states that the franchisee must construct the Franchise location according to the construction plans and specifications provided or approved by Healthsource Chiropractic. The franchisee is also responsible for decorating the Franchise location in compliance with the provided or approved plans and specifications.
However, Healthsource Chiropractic also offers a "Clinic Management Business" franchise model in certain states where non-licensed persons are not permitted to own or operate chiropractic practices. In this model, the franchisee, who may not be a licensed chiropractor, constructs or builds out the clinic for use by a Professional Corporation (PC) that will own and operate the clinic. The PC consists of licensed individuals authorized to provide chiropractic services under local and state laws.
Therefore, if you are pursuing a standard Healthsource Chiropractic franchise, you will likely be responsible for the construction and build-out. If you are pursuing a Clinic Management Business franchise, you will also be responsible for the construction and build-out, but the clinic will be operated by a separate PC. It is important to clarify with Healthsource Chiropractic which franchise model applies to your situation and the specific responsibilities associated with each model.
