What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Learningrx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the total estimated initial investment varies depending on the type of franchise: Satellite, Micro, or Standard. For a Satellite location, the total investment is $75,000. This includes an initial franchise fee of $5,000 and travel and living expenses of $0. For a Micro franchise, the total investment is $148,000, including an initial franchise fee of $30,000 and travel and living expenses of $3,000. For a Standard franchise, the total investment is $220,000, which includes an initial franchise fee of $45,000 and travel and living expenses of $3,000.
These initial franchise fees are non-refundable. The travel and living expenses cover costs for airlines, hotels, car rentals, and restaurants during training. The low estimate of $0 for Satellite locations assumes the owner does not need to travel to Colorado Springs for training.
Prospective Learningrx franchisees should carefully consider the territory size and population density when deciding between a Satellite, Micro, or Standard franchise, as this will significantly impact the initial investment. It is also important to note that these are estimates, and actual costs may vary. Reviewing these figures with a business advisor is recommended before making a decision.
