What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Healthsource Chiropractic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company generally does not own the premises that are leased to its franchisees. The document specifies that franchisees are typically responsible for leasing their clinic locations.
This means that prospective Healthsource Chiropractic franchisees will usually need to find and lease a location that meets the franchisor's criteria. The franchisor must approve the site and may also need to approve the lease terms. The FDD indicates that the clinic should be a minimum of 1,800 square feet and typically located in high-traffic strip malls.
As the franchisee is responsible for securing the lease, they will be the ones negotiating lease terms and responsible for payments. The lease must include provisions required by the Franchise Agreement, or the franchisee must obtain express written approval from Healthsource Chiropractic for any variations or exclusions. Failing to secure an approved site and lease within the specified timeframes (120 days for site selection and 180 days for lease signing) could result in the termination of the Franchise Agreement.
