es Offered**
We currently offer one type of franchise: Clinic franchises. In the past, we have offered Regional Developer franchises, and certain of those Regional Developer franchises continue to operate. This Franchise Disclosure Document is for our Clinic franchises. We have offered these franchises since February 2006.
Clinic Franchises. We franchise the right to operate a single Clinic that must be physically located in a designated geographic area (the "Protected Territory") under the "HealthSource Chiropractic" name and other authorized names and marks (the "Marks"), using a system of distinctive operating procedures, methods, and standards that we have developed (the "System"). Clinic franchises will only be offered and sold to individuals licensed to practice or provide chiropractic care unless otherwise permitted by law, or unless you operate a Clinic as a Clinic Management Business (as defined below). You may purchase your franchise as a new, start-up Clinic (a "Start-Up Clinic"), or you may convert an existing chiropractic clinic to a HealthSource Chiropractic Clinic (a "Conversion Clinic"). You will sign our standard franchise agreement attached as Exhibit B (the "Franchise Agreement") when you purchase your Clinic franchise. In the past, we have negotiated the terms of the Franchise Agreement with certain franchises.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Healthsource Chiropractic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, they have offered Regional Developer franchises in the past. While Healthsource Chiropractic currently offers only Clinic franchises, they previously offered Regional Developer franchises from February 2006 until 2016, and some of these franchises are still operating. As of December 31, 2024, there were four Regional Developer franchises in operation, covering territories in sixteen states. Healthsource Chiropractic also reserves the right to offer Regional Developer franchises again in the future.
Regional Developer franchisees were granted the right to solicit, recruit, screen, and interview prospective Healthsource Chiropractic Clinic franchisees within a specific geographic area, as well as provide training and support services to Clinic franchisees in their designated Regional Territory. However, HealthSource Chiropractic, LLC will be the contracting party under the Franchise Agreement and under no circumstances will their Regional Developer franchises sign the Franchise Agreement on their behalf.
For prospective franchisees, this indicates that while the current focus is on Clinic franchises, the possibility of Regional Developer franchises being offered again exists. Individuals interested in a larger-scale development role may want to inquire about the conditions under which Healthsource Chiropractic might resume offering these franchises. It's important to note that the current FDD is for Clinic franchises, and the terms and conditions for Regional Developer franchises, if offered in the future, may differ.
