What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Kidokinetics Franchise Disclosure Document, satisfactory completion of the initial training program is required before Kidokinetics will allow a franchise to open or consent to a transfer of the franchise. This requirement is part of the Franchise Disclosure Questionnaire that prospective franchisees must complete.
This condition means that a franchisee must successfully finish the initial training to begin operations or to sell the franchise to someone else. For a new franchisee, this ensures they are adequately prepared to run the Kidokinetics business according to the franchisor's standards. For a transfer, it ensures that the new owner is also properly trained.
This requirement is fairly standard in the franchise industry, as franchisors want to maintain consistent quality and operational standards across all locations. Failing to meet this condition could delay the opening of the franchise or prevent its sale, impacting the franchisee's investment and business plans.
