What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, transfer fees are due concurrently with the transfer of the franchise. The total transfer fees amount to $10,000, plus any costs paid by the transferor, and an additional $2,500 paid by the transferee. These fees are paid to All County if a franchisee wants to transfer their franchise to a third party.
This means that if a franchisee decides to sell their All County franchise, they and the buyer must pay the specified transfer fees at the time the transfer is finalized. The $10,000 plus costs is the responsibility of the seller, while the $2,500 is the responsibility of the buyer. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as transfer fees compensate the franchisor for the work involved in approving the transfer and onboarding a new franchisee.
Prospective All County franchisees should be aware of these transfer fees and factor them into their long-term business plans. If they anticipate selling their franchise in the future, they should understand that these fees will reduce the net proceeds from the sale. It is also important to note that the transfer is contingent on All County's approval, and the franchisor may have specific requirements for potential buyers.
