inLIFE Wellness franchise FAQ
How much does it cost to open one — the total initial investment?
The total initial investment necessary to begin operation of an inLIFE Wellness® franchised business ranges from $238,280 to $452,670. This includes the franchise fee ranging from $87,880 to $111,820 that must be paid to the franchisor or its affiliates [p.1].
What is the initial franchise fee?
The initial franchise fee is $40,000 if not entering into an area development agreement [p.7]. For area developers, it's $30,000 for each unit developed, with a requirement to purchase at least a 3-unit development [p.8]. This isn't specified in the excerpts for other scenarios.
What are the ongoing royalty and advertising fees?
The ongoing royalty fee is non-refundable and due upon the earlier of the opening date of the Franchise Business or 12 months from the date of the Agreement, as specified in Exhibit 'A-3' [p.57]. Additionally, there is an ongoing Special Purposes Fund fee of $400 per month that must be paid to support marketing and advertising efforts, which are managed by the company [p.58] and [p.24].
How long is the initial franchise agreement, and can I renew it?
This isn't specified in the excerpts.
Can I sell or transfer my franchise, and what does that require?
Yes, you can sell or transfer your franchise. However, it requires approval from the franchisor [p.79]. The transferee must complete and submit all application documents required by the franchisor at the time of transfer and be approved in writing. Additionally, the terms and conditions of the proposed transfer, including the price, must be provided in writing to the franchisor within the specified time frames, and cannot negatively impact the future viability of the franchise business [p.79]. The sale price should not have any obligations that are not subordinate to your obligations to pay fees due under the agreement [p.79].
On what grounds can the franchisor terminate the agreement?
The franchisor can terminate the agreement if you do not meet the development deadlines [p.30]. Additionally, this isn't specified in the excerpts for other specific grounds of termination.
What financial requirements — net worth and liquid capital — do I need to qualify?
This isn't specified in the excerpts. The FDD does not provide specific details on net worth or liquid capital requirements for franchisees. [p.78] mentions financial resources as a consideration but does not detail minimum amounts.
Do I get an exclusive or protected territory?
No, you do not get an exclusive or protected territory. The excerpts indicate that while you can search for a location within a designated area, this is not your protected territory. Additionally, the company reserves the right to sell franchises or develop outlets in the Search Area and will not establish another traditional franchise or company/affiliate-owned unit using the trademark within your territory once it is established [p.55, p.28]. This applies whether you are a single franchisee or an area developer [p.29].
What training and ongoing support does the franchisor provide?
The franchisor provides initial in-person training at their business location in Addison, Texas, or another designated location, lasting approximately 1 to 2 days for those with prior experience [p.26]. Ongoing support includes an online component and additional training as needed [p.26]. This training is required for the operating principal, owners, and key personnel, including any designated manager [p.40].
How many franchised outlets are there, and how many have closed or been terminated?
This isn't specified in the excerpts.
Does the franchisor share any financial performance or earnings information?
The franchisor shares historic financial performance information for two of its locations—Addison, Texas (company/affiliate owned), and University Park, Texas (franchise location co-owned with the CEO)—for the period from January 2025 through December 2025. This information is provided as part of Item 19 in the FDD [p.40]. However, other than this specific information for existing outlets, the franchisor does not make any financial performance representations and does not authorize its employees or representatives to do so either orally or in writing [p.41].
What am I restricted to selling, and where must I buy supplies?
You are not specifically restricted to selling any particular products; however, you may have to buy or lease items from the franchisor or a limited group of suppliers they designate, which could be more expensive than other options [p.3]. This isn't specified in the excerpts regarding what you must sell.
