Financial Health Notes

The franchisor has also sustained net losses in fiscal years 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. Due to TITLE BOXING CLUB's financial condition, the State of Maryland has required that all initial fees and development fees be deferred until the franchisee's first fitness studio is open for business.
