What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Maintenance Revenue Fee, which is 3% of revenue derived from maintenance services, is payable in the same manner and at the same time as the Royalty fee. The Maintenance Revenue Fee is a non-refundable fee. An 'Accounting Period' is defined as one calendar month.
This means that each month, an All County franchisee must calculate their Maintenance Revenue and remit 3% of that amount to All County, following the same payment procedures and schedule as their Royalty payments. This fee covers any maintenance services the franchisee, any owner, or any entity affiliated with them provides, as long as All County has duly approved these services under their Methods of Operation.
Prospective franchisees should ensure they fully understand what constitutes 'Maintenance Revenue' and the approved 'Methods of Operation' to accurately calculate and pay this fee. They should also clarify the specific payment methods and deadlines for both the Royalty and Maintenance Revenue Fee to avoid any late payment penalties or issues with All County.
