The vendor opportunity at Creative Kids Movement Network
Creative Kids Movement Network operates a tiny fitness concept with 7 total units—6 franchised and 1 company-owned—according to its 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document. Average unit volume sits at $101,967. For software vendors, this is a micro-cap target: the total addressable unit count is small, but the concentration of purchasing authority makes it unusually efficient to pitch. There is no parent company on file; the brand appears independently owned. Year-over-year unit growth is not disclosed in the most recent FDD.
The royalty percentage is not disclosed. Initial franchise terms run 5 years. With only 7 units in the system, any software vendor that secures a mandate gains near-complete penetration in a single sales cycle. The limiting factor is scale—this is not a volume play, but a relationship-driven one.
Who controls software purchasing
All technology decisions at Creative Kids Movement Network trace back to one person: Kate Brongo-DeBiase, President and Founder. The FDD lists no other executives, no CIO, no VP of Operations, and no franchisee advisory council with technology input. This is a founder-led, HQ-controlled buying environment. For a vendor, the path is straightforward—you need to reach Brongo-DeBiase directly. There is no operator footprint mapped in our corpus, meaning no multi-unit franchisees with independent purchasing power have been identified.
Mandated and current tech stack
The 2026 FDD mandates five systems: HubSpot by HubSpot, Inc., QuickBooks and QuickBooks Online by Intuit Inc., Studio Pro, and a Management System. HubSpot covers CRM and marketing automation; QuickBooks handles accounting; Studio Pro likely manages class scheduling or studio operations for the fitness concept. The generic “Management System” designation suggests either an unbranded internal tool or a vendor the franchisor chose not to name explicitly in Item 11.
Notably absent from the mandated list is a point-of-sale system. If you sell POS, payment processing, payroll, or HR tech, there may be an opening—but you will need to displace or integrate with the existing QuickBooks and Studio Pro environment. The stack is lean, reflecting the small unit count.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 of the FDD contains no extract, so the procurement model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open market—is not disclosed. Vendors should assume a closed, HQ-driven process until they confirm otherwise through direct outreach.
Renewal timing offers a potential entry point. The initial franchise term is 5 years, and franchisees in good standing can renew for up to two additional 5-year terms. Each renewal requires signing a new franchise agreement that “may contain materially different terms and conditions than your original Franchise Agreement,” including upgraded and modernized business requirements. That clause creates a natural re-evaluation window where mandated technology could change. With only 7 units, however, renewal cycles will be infrequent and small in number.
How to read the Creative Kids Movement Network FDD
The full 2026 FDD is embedded below. It was filed with state franchise regulators and contains the legal and operational disclosures that govern the franchise system. For software vendors, the critical sections are Item 11 (franchisor’s obligations) for mandated technology, Item 8 (restrictions on sources of products and services) for procurement rules, and Item 1 (the franchisor and any parents) for the buying-center org chart. In this FDD, Item 8 is silent and Item 1 names only the founder—so your research starts and ends with Kate Brongo-DeBiase.
If you are building a ranked target list of franchise systems to sell into, FranCloud can help you prioritize by decision-maker concentration, tech-stack gaps, and unit economics.
