What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees participating in the Reconciliation Assistance Program must pay applicable fees during their participation. These Reconciliation Assistance Program Fees are payable following a specified Accounting Period and are due at the same time and in the same manner as the Royalty fees.
This means that All County franchisees will be billed for the Reconciliation Assistance Program fees according to a defined accounting schedule, and these payments will be due concurrently with their royalty payments. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand the specific accounting period and payment schedule to manage their finances effectively.
All County also retains the right to terminate the Reconciliation Assistance Program at any time, for any reason, by providing 30 days' prior written notice to the franchisee. This clause gives All County flexibility in managing the program but also introduces a degree of uncertainty for franchisees who rely on the program. Franchisees should consider this potential for termination when evaluating the benefits of the program and its associated fees.
