Is the Maintenance Revenue Fee for an All County franchise refundable?

According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Maintenance Revenue Fee is non-refundable. Franchisees must pay this fee each accounting period, which is defined as one calendar month, throughout the term of the agreement. The Maintenance Revenue Fee is 3% of all Maintenance Revenue derived from any maintenance services that All County has duly approved under its Methods of Operation. This revenue includes any income the franchisee, any owner, or any entity affiliated with the franchisee receives from repairs and maintenance services.

This non-refundable fee is in addition to the Royalty fee that All County franchisees are required to pay. The Maintenance Revenue Fee is payable in the same manner and at the same time as the Royalty, meaning franchisees must budget for this ongoing expense and cannot expect reimbursement under any circumstances.

For a prospective All County franchisee, understanding the non-refundable nature of the Maintenance Revenue Fee is crucial for financial planning. This fee directly impacts the profitability of maintenance services offered through the franchise. Franchisees should carefully evaluate the potential Maintenance Revenue they can generate and factor in this 3% non-refundable fee to accurately assess their potential earnings and overall financial viability.
