Healthsource_Chiropractic Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
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. HealthSource Chiropractic, LLC will be the contracting party under the Franchise Agreement and under no circumstances will our Regional Developer franchises sign the Franchise Agreement on our behalf.
