What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Healthsource Chiropractic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company offers a VetFran discount to eligible veterans. If a prospective franchisee qualifies for the VetFran program, sponsored by the International Franchise Association, Healthsource Chiropractic will reduce either the Development Fee or the Initial Franchise Fee for the franchisee's first franchise by $5,000.
This discount can significantly lower the initial investment required to start a Healthsource Chiropractic franchise. The Initial Franchise Fee for a start-up clinic is $60,000, so a $5,000 discount represents a notable reduction in the upfront costs. For franchisees pursuing a Development Agreement, the Development Fee varies based on the number of clinics planned, and the $5,000 discount would apply to that fee instead.
It is important to note that eligibility for the VetFran program is determined by the International Franchise Association, not Healthsource Chiropractic. Prospective franchisees should verify their eligibility with VetFran directly. This discount only applies to the first franchise purchased, so franchisees planning to open multiple locations should factor that into their financial planning.
