Frequently Asked Questions

How do gym franchise agreements affect succession planning?

Most fitness franchise agreements include transfer approval clauses requiring the franchisor to approve new owners. Life insurance-funded buy-sell agreements provide liquidity while awaiting approval, preventing forced closures.

What debt coverage do gym franchise owners typically need?

Gym buildouts often cost $400K-$1.2M in equipment, flooring, and leasehold improvements. Combined with franchise fees and working capital, owners often carry $600K-$2M in initial debt that should be covered.
