What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Dogs Unleashed's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, utility deposits and expenses, which range from $2,000 to $4,000, are due 'as invoiced' to the utility provider. This means that franchisees should anticipate paying these costs upon receiving a bill or invoice from the utility companies providing services to their All Dogs Unleashed location. These are lump sum payments.
This contrasts with other initial investment costs, such as leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures, and equipment, which are paid 'as arranged' with contractors and suppliers. Understanding the 'when due' terms for each type of expenditure is crucial for managing cash flow during the initial setup phase.
Prospective All Dogs Unleashed franchisees should factor these utility costs and payment terms into their initial budget and working capital projections. Coordinating with utility providers to understand their billing cycles and deposit requirements will help ensure timely payments and avoid any service disruptions during the critical opening phase.
