What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are not charged a separate, distinct 'Customer Data Fee.' However, the Administration and Technical Support Fee of $250 per month for each Approved Location covers administrative and technical support provided by Aerus. This support includes Aerus's standard software and communication package, which may include a customer database and lead management software package. Therefore, while there isn't a specific fee labeled as 'Customer Data Fee,' access to and support for customer data management tools are bundled within the monthly Administration and Technical Support Fee.
This means that as an Aerus franchisee, you will pay a fixed monthly fee of $250 for each location, which grants you access to software and support that may include customer data management tools. This is a mandatory fee, as it is required for administrative and technical support.
Prospective franchisees should confirm with Aerus exactly what customer data tools and support are included in the standard software and communication package covered by the Administration and Technical Support Fee. Understanding the specific features and capabilities of these tools is crucial for assessing their value and how they can contribute to managing and growing your Aerus franchise.
