Renaissance EXECUTIVE FORUMS, Inc. is a California corporation that was incorporated on April 14, 1994. Their principal business address is 14697 Delaware Street, Suite 240B, Denver, Colorado 80023-9178. They have granted franchises since October 1994.
We grant to certain qualified persons franchises to operate Member meetings (Renaissance ExecutEd Forums" or "Forums") using our business formats, systems, methods, procedures and training materials (the "System") under the trademarks, service marks and other commercial symbols we periodically designate, including, without limitation, "Renaissance Executed/E Forums" (the "Marks"). The term "Members" means the Top Executives (defined below) and Key Executives (defined below) to whom we authorize you to sell products and services. You are not authorized to offer other products and/or services of any kind to anyone without receiving our written approval in advance of conducting such activities. We sell franchises (a "Franchise Unit") that offer valuable services to the top executives of all types of businesses. We primarily do this through the operation of advisory board, peer review and continuing education Forums, which solicit chief executive officers, presidents and business owners and "local" top executives ("Top Executives"), and potentially other employees who report directly to the top executive or other key individuals in an organization ("Key Executives"), to participate in monthly meetings and other programs that provide advisory board services, peer review services, continuing education programs, coaching, and consultation. You may solicit or provide services to the Top Executives at a given location within your Market Area (defined below). The Top Executive must (1) truly be the top executive at this location; (2) have the ability to make decisions without approval from anyone; and (3) have bottom-line P&L responsibility at his or her business. We may also authorize you to offer memberships to Key Executives through our Key Executive Forum Program ("KEF"). We grant you the right to sell products and services under the franchise agreement attached as Exhibit A (the "Franchise Agreement"). The Franchise Agreement describes the terms and conditions necessary to operate a Franchise Unit that provides peer review services, continuing education programs and consultation at a location that meets our standards and specifications (the "Premises") within a defined geographical area (the "Market Area"). You may not offer memberships to or provide services to anyone who is not a Top Executive or other Key Executive unless we give you prior written approval to do so.

Upfront Franchise Fees
Minimum: $54,500 Maximum: $54,500
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: $68,510 Maximum: $97,565
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.
