What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Learningrx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a standard franchise is estimated to need $60,000 in additional funds for the first three months of operation. These funds are intended to cover expenses incurred during the start-up phase of the business. These expenses include initial employee wages, insurance premiums, licenses, permit costs, recruitment, advertising expenses, electricity, digital access fees, telephone, and other supplies.
It is important to note that this estimate does not include any revenue generated by the Learningrx business during those first three months, nor does it account for ongoing royalty fees, marketing development fund contributions, or cooperative advertising requirement contributions. These figures are only estimates, and Learningrx recommends that prospective franchisees carefully review these figures with a business advisor before making any decisions about purchasing the franchise.
Learningrx also specifies that they relied on 50 years of experience in the cognitive training business to compile these estimates. However, the document clearly states that Learningrx does not provide financing arrangements for franchisees. If a franchisee seeks financing from other sources, the cost of financing will depend on factors such as the franchisee's creditworthiness, available collateral, the lending policies of the financial institution, the lender's financial condition, and the regulatory environment.
