D-BAT Academies, Inc. is a Texas corporation formed on March 4, 1993, under the name CMNS Properties, Inc. On October 29, 2007, they changed their name to D-BAT Academies, Inc.. Their principal business address is 2101 Midway Road, Suite 300, Carrollton, Texas 75006. They have been offering franchises since December 2007.
We grant franchises for baseball training facilities and pro shops (“Facility”), that operate under our proprietary business format and system (our “System”) and are identified by the trade name and service mark “D-BAT®”, and other trademarks, service marks, logos and taglines that we designate, or in the future may designate, to identify Facilities operating under the System (our “Marks”). Our System includes distinctive interior and exterior design, décor, color scheme, graphics, fixtures and furnishings, our proprietary products, operation, and customer service standards and procedures, advertising and marketing specifications and requirements, and other standards, specifications, techniques, and procedures that we designate for developing, operating, and managing a D-BAT® Facility, all of which we may change, improve, and further develop (collectively, our “Standards”). It also features a proprietary membership program, designed to encourage customer loyalty by offering price discounts and other unique benefits to D-BAT members (“Membership Program”). D-BAT® Facilities offer personal training in the areas of pitching, catching, hitting and fielding, in addition to cage rental services, and batting cages, baseball pitching machines, softball pitching machines, climate control and retail pro shop. Some D-BAT® Facilities also feature an artificial turf field. If we award you a franchise, you will operate a D-BAT® Facility at an approved location according to the terms and conditions of our standard franchise agreement (“Franchise Agreement”) (see Exhibit D). In consideration for your right and license to use the Marks and System, you will be required to use best efforts to promote and solicit membership in our Membership Program, and you will designate us as your payment agent for membership fees. We will manage the Membership Program, accept payments on your D-BAT Academies, Inc. Franchise Disclosure Document | 2019 2 behalf, and, after deducting appropriate fees, remit the balance to you. Your management and advertising fees will be based on a percentage of Membership Fees collected. We do not charge a sales-based royalty and, therefore, revenues that you receive from providing private instruction and other services, and from the retail sale of equipment and apparel, are not subject to royalty fee calculations. If we approve your application to develop multiple Facilities in a defined geographic area, you will sign our standard Area Development Agreement (see Exhibit E). The Area Development Agreement will define your protected area (the “Development Area”), the number of Facilities to be developed, and the development timetable (the “Development Schedule”). Simultaneously with the execution of the Area Development Agreement, you will sign the form of Franchise Agreement attached as Exhibit D for the first Facility to be developed. You will also sign our then-current form of Franchise Agreement for each additional Facility to be developed under and in accordance with the Area Development Agreement.

Summary of Investment Costs
Upfront Franchise Fees
Minimum: $106,500 Maximum: $124,000
Upfront franchise fees are the one-time payments required to secure rights to operate under an established brand, typically ranging from $20,000 to $100,000+ depending on brand value.
These fees grant access to proprietary business systems, training programs, intellectual property rights, and often territorial exclusivity—essentially purchasing the blueprint for a proven business model.
While separate from ongoing royalties, investors should evaluate these fees against expected returns, comparing fee-to-earnings ratios across opportunities and assessing how effectively franchisors reinvest these funds into system improvements.
Total Investment Costs
Minimum: $536,450 Maximum: $1,031,100
Ongoing Fees
Ongoing franchise fees, typically structured as royalties ranging from 4-8% of gross sales, represent the continuous payments franchisees make to maintain brand affiliation and support services.
These recurring fees fund the franchisor's operational assistance, marketing initiatives, technology updates, and continued brand development—creating a partnership where the franchisor's revenue grows alongside the franchisee's success. In addition to royalties, franchisees often contribute to national advertising funds (usually 1-3% of sales) and may incur technology fees, supply chain markups, or renewal fees depending on the franchise agreement.
Investors should carefully analyze these ongoing costs within their financial projections, as they directly impact profit margins and cash flow throughout the entire franchise relationship.
