What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Healthsource Chiropractic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, BioKinemetrics, an approved supplier of chiropractic equipment, pays Healthsource Chiropractic a rebate of $700 per unit purchased by Healthsource Chiropractic franchisees. This means that for every piece of chiropractic equipment a franchisee buys from BioKinemetrics, Healthsource Chiropractic receives $700.
Healthsource Chiropractic states that it uses the funds received from these supplier rebates to offset speaker and facility costs associated with their annual multi-day conference. This suggests that the rebates do not directly benefit the franchisees in the form of reduced equipment costs, but rather contribute to the funding of the annual conference.
It is important for prospective franchisees to understand that while Healthsource Chiropractic negotiates price terms with suppliers, the rebates received are used for specific purposes determined by the franchisor. Franchisees should consider the overall cost of equipment and supplies, and the value of the annual conference, when evaluating the financial implications of this arrangement.
