What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Aerus Franchise Disclosure Document, the "Administration and Technical Support Fee" is a payment made by the franchisee to Aerus for administration and technical support services. The exact amount of this fee is specified in Schedule 3 of the FDD. Schedule 3 is not included in the provided excerpts.
Without Schedule 3, it's impossible to determine the specific dollar amount or calculation method for the Administration and Technical Support Fee. This fee is a crucial element of the ongoing costs for operating an Aerus franchise, as it covers the support provided by the company.
A prospective Aerus franchisee should carefully review Schedule 3 of the FDD to understand the amount and payment schedule of the Administration and Technical Support Fee. It would also be prudent to ask Aerus about the specific services covered by this fee and how it might change over time.
