What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Learningrx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a new franchisee must pay an Initial Training and Materials Fee of $10,000. This fee is due upon signing the Franchise Agreement. This fee covers the initial training and materials provided by Learningrx to get the franchisee started.
It is important to note that this fee is fully earned by Learningrx upon payment and is non-refundable under any circumstances. This means that even if the franchisee decides not to proceed with opening a Learningrx center after signing the agreement, the $10,000 fee will not be returned. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as the franchisor incurs costs in preparing to train and support a new franchisee from the moment the agreement is signed.
However, if an existing Learningrx franchisee transfers their center to another Learningrx franchisee, the Initial Training and Materials Fee for the transferee is $6,000, instead of $10,000. Also, if the center is transferred to a corporation, partnership, or limited liability company of which the franchisee is the majority stockholder, or a child, parent, sibling or spouse of Franchisee, no transfer fee will be required.
