What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to All States M.E.D.'s 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay travel and living expenses incurred during training to third parties. These expenses are estimated to range from $2,000 to $3,000.
All States M.E.D. provides initial training to the franchisee (or their managing owner) and two manager-level employees. If additional employees attend the training, the franchisee must pay All States M.E.D.'s current training charge for each additional person. The franchisee is also responsible for covering all travel and living costs for themselves and their employees during the training period.
In the franchise industry, it is standard practice for franchisees to cover their own travel and living expenses during training. This ensures that franchisees have a direct stake in managing their costs and making informed decisions about their training arrangements. Prospective All States M.E.D. franchisees should factor these expenses into their initial investment calculations and budget accordingly.
