What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated range for other deposits is between $500 and $1,500. These deposits are paid under varying terms and are due when the franchisee engages the service requiring the deposit. According to footnote 11, these deposits include any required deposits for utilities and leased equipment, including a copier and the telephone system.
Prospective All County franchisees should budget for these deposits as part of their initial investment. The actual amount will depend on the specific requirements of the leased space and the utility companies in the franchisee's area. It is important to note that these figures are estimates, and the actual costs may vary.
Franchisees should confirm with local utility providers and equipment lessors to determine the exact deposit amounts required. Understanding these costs upfront will help in accurately forecasting the initial investment and managing cash flow during the early stages of the business. It is also important to note that these deposits are in addition to the lease deposits, which are listed separately in the table.
