What is prohibited for a Healthsource Chiropractic General Manager regarding business interests?

According to Healthsource Chiropractic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a General Manager is subject to certain restrictive covenants, including non-competition agreements. Upon termination of the Franchise Agreement, the General Manager must immediately comply with the restrictive covenants outlined in the agreement and any Restrictive Covenants Agreement they signed.

This means that during the term of employment and potentially for a period after termination, the General Manager cannot be involved in any business that offers products or services similar to those offered at a Healthsource Chiropractic clinic. This restriction extends to being an owner, investor, partner, director, officer, employee, manager, consultant, representative, or agent in a competing business.

These restrictions are typical in franchising to protect the franchisor's business model, confidential information, and customer relationships. Prospective Healthsource Chiropractic franchisees should carefully review the specific terms of the Restrictive Covenants Agreement to understand the full scope of these limitations on the General Manager and ensure compliance to avoid potential legal issues.
