What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the transferee is responsible for paying the Transferee Administrative Fee. As a condition of All County's approval of any proposed transfer of the Franchised Business, the transferee must agree to pay All County a Transferee Administrative Fee of $2,500. This fee covers administrative and other expenses All County incurs in connection with the transfer.
The Transferee Administrative Fee is due from the transferee to All County when the transferee executes a franchise agreement with All County, or when the transferee executes any other separate agreement with All County making the transfer effective. This fee is separate from the transfer fee that the current franchisee must pay to All County.
In summary, if you are looking to buy an existing All County franchise, be aware that you, as the transferee, will be responsible for paying a $2,500 administrative fee to All County in addition to any other costs associated with purchasing the franchise from the current owner.
