What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee uses accounting software or systems specified by All County and does not enter the required information correctly, they may incur additional fees. Specifically, if a franchisee uses a debit card instead of a credit card to pay business expenses or has not entered required information correctly into any accounting software or system specified by All County, then All County may charge an additional "Hourly Fee" to rectify any such issues or perform other necessary services. All County also has full access to and administrator rights in any software or system specified by All County under the Operating Standards of the Program. All County may use any of the franchisee's data for business purposes, including calculating royalties, analyzing the financial condition of the franchised business, and creating financial performance representations for the All County Franchise Disclosure Document.
All County franchisees are required to sign an Activation Agreement as a condition of using the required Rent Manager® software. During the sign-up and billing process for Rent Manager Online (RMO), both LCS (presumably the software provider) and the franchisee (referred to as the CUSTOMER in the agreement) will exchange confidential information. The agreement states that all customer credit card and billing information is identified and stored in a secure LCS environment.
Due to the nature of the software, the CUSTOMER understands it is sometimes necessary for an LCS support technician to view sensitive CUSTOMER information during the installation, setup, and/or daily support of Rent Manager. LCS will not share this information with outside parties. The LCS Support technician will only view information necessary to complete the installation/setup process or resolve the support incident.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review Exhibit G of the FDD, which contains a sample copy of the Rent Manager Software Contract, and clarify with All County what specific data entry and reporting obligations they will have to ensure compliance and avoid additional fees.
