What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Kidokinetics's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, when purchasing a Multi-Franchise, the initial franchise fee is reduced for additional franchises. Specifically, the initial franchise fee for the third and fourth Kidokinetics franchise agreements is $35,000 each. This is part of a tiered fee structure where the first franchise agreement costs $60,000 and the second costs $40,000.
This reduced fee for subsequent franchises lowers the initial investment required for franchisees looking to expand their Kidokinetics operations. It incentivizes franchisees to commit to multiple territories upfront. However, franchisees should note that these fees, once paid to Kidokinetics or its affiliates, are uniform and non-refundable under any circumstances.
In addition to the initial franchise fee, franchisees purchasing additional Kidokinetics businesses must also pay a reduced Initial Marketing Package Fee of $1,000 for each additional business, a reduced Software License fee of $1,000 for each additional business, and have an additional $10,000 in funds. These additional costs, while lower than those for the first franchise, should be factored into the overall investment strategy when considering a Multi-Franchise purchase.
Prospective franchisees should carefully consider the financial implications of purchasing a Multi-Franchise, including the initial franchise fees, marketing fees, software license fees, and additional funds required. Consulting with a business advisor is recommended to fully understand the costs and potential benefits before making a decision.
