What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to pay professional organization fees to any professional organizations that All County requires them to belong to. These fees vary, with an estimated annual range of $300 to $1,000. The due date for these fees also varies.
This means that as an All County franchisee, you may be obligated to join and pay dues to specific professional organizations that All County deems necessary for your business operation. The actual amount you pay will depend on the membership fees of those organizations. It is important to factor this ongoing expense into your budget when considering an All County franchise.
Unlike many other fees outlined in the FDD, such as advertising fees, training fees, and transfer fees, the professional organization fees are not paid to All County itself. Instead, these fees are remitted directly to the relevant professional organizations. This distinction is explicitly noted in the FDD, which states that all fees except professional organization fees and local advertising expenses are payable to All County.
