What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Maintenance Revenue Fee applies not only to the franchisee but also to any Owner or entity affiliated with the franchisee. This fee is a percentage of revenue derived from maintenance services. Specifically, the franchisee must pay All County a Maintenance Revenue Fee each accounting period. An accounting period is defined as one calendar month.
The Maintenance Revenue Fee is 3% of Maintenance Revenue. Maintenance Revenue includes all revenue and other consideration the franchisee, any Owner, or any affiliated business entity derives from repairs and maintenance services to real property or equipment. These services include, but are not limited to, painting, lawn care, preventative maintenance, cleaning, plumbing, and general repairs to real property or equipment.
This means that if an All County franchisee, an Owner of the franchise, or a business affiliated with the franchisee earns revenue from providing maintenance services, that revenue is subject to the 3% Maintenance Revenue Fee. This fee is in addition to the standard royalty fee. The Maintenance Revenue Fee is paid in the same manner and at the same time as the royalty.
