We began offering franchises on September 23, 2014. Our affiliate and its predecessors (as described above) has never offered franchises in this or any other line of business and does not do business under any other name. The offering of the Franchise is separate and apart from our prior licensing activities as described above under Prior Business Activities. We will have substantially more control over the operations of franchisees than we have had over licensees, for example by requiring pre-approval of all advertising and minimum amounts of expenditures on local advertising; having the right to require the franchisees to pay money into a regional advertising fund; having the right to mandate pricing within a metropolitan area (subject to applicable law); requiring maintenance of customer and accounting records in specific ways, and providing us continuous access to those records; and.giving us a right of first refusal over any proposed transfer of a franchised SpiderSmart Learning Centers. We offer “SpiderSmart Learning Center” franchises (hereinafter referred to as a “SpiderSmart Learning Center”, “Center” or “Franchise”), which is a brick-and-mortar learning center that will provide personalized tutoring services to school-aged children ages 5 through 18. The Centers will utilize the “SpiderSmart Educational System,” which is a unique model for providing tutoring and instruction services specializing in the areas of reading and writing, math, current events, test preparation and other subject-specific focuses. The SpiderSmart Educational System provides a vast array of original curricula, including assignments for over 3,200 books for reading and writing sessions, 400 for current event sessions and 4,500 math worksheets. Although not required, if you wish to open a Franchise in Maryland, Virginia, the District of Columbia, or eastern Texas, you may sign our Preliminary Agreement (Exhibit B to this Disclosure Document) reserve a geographically-described site selection area for 120 days and obtain our assistance with the site- selection process, in exchange for paying us a fee of $5,000. During the 120-day period, we will provide advice and feedback about selecting and analyzing a site for the Franchise (including advice regarding population density, traffic patterns, safety of location, parking accommodations and proximity of the proposed site to other SpiderSmart franchisees), but site selection and any lease negotiation is ultimately your responsibility. Additionally, during that 120-day period, we may terminate the Preliminary Agreement at any time prior to you signing a lease or purchasing property for use as a SpiderSmart Learning Center, provided that we refund the $5,000 to you. if you are unable to secure a site acceptable to you and us in the site selection area during the 120-day period, we will have no further obligation to you and you may obtain a refund of $2,500 of the $5,000 deposit and no additional fees will be owed to us by you. If you secure an acceptable site and sign the Franchise Agreement, then the $5,000 Preliminary Agreement fee is applied toward the Initial Franchise Fee.

Summary of Investment Costs
Upfront Franchise Fees
Minimum: $30,000 Maximum: $30,000
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: $80,400 Maximum: $142,400
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.
