2. What type of locations fit into BBFP site critieria?
BBFP franchises are generally 1,000 to 1,500 square feet; however, smaller or larger stores are an option. The optimal area is densely populated, has significant traffic count, is highly visible, and is located near numerous traffic generators in the complex. The location is typically situated in an area with a strong golf presence.

3. Are there any continuing fees after I pay the initial franchise fee?
Yes. There is a marketing and royalty fee of 9% of gross income, and if you elect to sign the sales contract, you will pay a 10% commission on income generated under that contract.
 
4. How much money can I make from a BBFP investment?
Since the actual results of individual franchises are based on factors that are not within the control of BBFP, we do not provide estimates of profits or revenues.  However, after consulting with a BBFP Representative and reviewing the Uniform Franchise Offering Circular (UFOC), you will have the opportunity to contact our existing franchisees regarding their experiences.
 
5. Is experience in running a small business required?
While small business experience is helpful, it is not required.  You will receive step-by-step training at BBFP’s Home Office in the important aspects of operating your business, including operational, marketing, and clinical training.  During training, you will learn how to use the BBFP Manuals.
 
6. Do I have to run the center?
You are not required to run your center; however, the most successful centers are those operated by the owner(s).
 
7. Does BBFP make money on any products or supplies distributed to the stores?
Yes, BBFP makes a small percentage on all items ordered from the preferred vendor list to supplement marketing efforts.  Great care is taken in finding vendors that provide high quality products at reduced prices through volume purchasing.
 
8. How much training do I receive?
One week of clinical training, three to five days of marketing training, and one to two days of sales training. This is for two people.  Additionally we support your on-going efforts to establish and grow your business as a regular part of our obligations under the franchise contract. 
 
9. Who trains our new BBFP Clinicans?
BBFP requires that all BBFP Clinicans are trained by the National Office Training Staff. The training costs are paid by the Center owner.
 
10. Can I open multiple centers?
Yes, as long as each center is in full compliance with the franchise contract.
 
11. Why doesn’t BBFP give golf lessons?
Our job is to make sure that a golfer has the necessary physical ability to make a golf swing. We teach the body how to work, the golf professional teaches the client how to golf. BBFP encourages its clinicians to work closely with the client's golf professional for optimal results.
 
12. What are the hours of operation?
They vary in each center depending on the demands of the client base.
 
13. Are centers successful in cold climates?
Yes.  There are two types of clients in the cold climates: golfers who will work with BBFP in season to see the changes as they play, and clients who do not want to take time away from golf in season, and do the program off season.  The number of each type of client seems roughly equal.
 
14. I’m ready to go what is the next step?
 


This website and the franchise sales information on this site do not represent an offer to sell a franchise. The offer of a franchise can only be made through the delivery of a franchise offering circular. Certain states require that we register the franchise offering circular in those states. We are not directing the communications on this web site to the residents of any of those states. Moreover, we will not offer or sell franchises in those states until we have registered the franchise (or obtained an applicable exemption from registration) and delivered the franchise offering circular to the prospective franchisee that complies with applicable law.
