What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Beyond Fee is due and payable upon execution of the Beyond Addendum. This fee applies only to franchisees who sign a Beyond Addendum.
The Beyond Fee is $100 for both franchisees operating under the Standard Program and those under the Associate Program. This fee is non-refundable, meaning that once paid, it will not be returned to the franchisee under any circumstances.
Prospective franchisees should carefully consider whether to sign the Beyond Addendum, as doing so immediately triggers the obligation to pay the $100 Beyond Fee. It is important to understand the terms and conditions outlined in the Beyond Addendum before signing it to ensure full awareness of the commitments being made.
Understanding when fees are due is crucial for managing the initial investment required to start an Aerus franchise. Franchisees should budget accordingly to ensure they can meet this payment obligation upon signing the Beyond Addendum.
