What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Healthsource Chiropractic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Healthsource Chiropractic receives a rebate from Pivotal Health Solutions. Pivotal Health Solutions, an approved supplier for certain chiropractic equipment, pays Healthsource Chiropractic a rebate of 5% on all purchases made by Healthsource Chiropractic franchises.
This arrangement means that a portion of the money spent by franchisees with Pivotal Health Solutions goes back to Healthsource Chiropractic. While the FDD does not specify how Healthsource Chiropractic uses these rebate funds, it does state that the funds received from suppliers are used to offset speaker and facility costs associated with their annual multi-day conference.
For a prospective franchisee, this highlights the importance of understanding approved supplier relationships and how they benefit the franchisor. While franchisees are required to purchase from approved suppliers, it's worth noting that Healthsource Chiropractic benefits financially from these purchases. Franchisees should consider this when evaluating the overall cost of goods and services required to operate the franchise.
