What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Healthsource Chiropractic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, initial training is a crucial aspect of operating a franchise. At least 30 days before opening, the franchisee and designated staff must attend the initial training program. This program is mandatory for the franchisee (if an individual), principal owners (if a legal entity), the general manager (if any), and all other employees. All attendees must complete the training to Healthsource Chiropractic's satisfaction. There is no tuition charge for required attendees.
The initial training currently includes virtual classroom and self-directed instruction, as well as franchise operation training. However, Healthsource Chiropractic specifies that the training may be conducted at their training facility, an affiliate location, a conference facility, a designated Healthsource Chiropractic franchise location, the franchisee's own location, or another designated location. The content of the initial training programs may vary for each employee, depending on their specific responsibilities within the franchise.
If Healthsource Chiropractic determines that a general manager or employee cannot satisfactorily complete the initial training, the franchisee must not hire that person. Instead, they must hire a substitute who enrolls in the initial training program within 15 days and completes it to Healthsource Chiropractic's satisfaction. This ensures that all personnel meet the required standards before commencing operations.
