What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, additional funds are due as incurred. These funds, estimated between $10,000 and $25,000 for the first three months of operation, cover expenses like employee salaries, supplies, and utilities. However, these additional funds do not include the fees outlined in Item 6 of the FDD, any expenses already listed in the initial investment chart, the owner's salary, or payroll costs for temporary employees placed through the temporary service business.
For a prospective All Team franchisee, this means carefully managing cash flow during the initial months. The "as incurred" payment schedule implies that these expenses will arise gradually, but franchisees should budget diligently to ensure they can cover these costs as they appear. It's crucial to note that payroll for temporary employees is a separate, potentially significant expense that franchisees must also plan for, as detailed in Items 6 and 10 of the FDD.
Franchisees should also be aware that these figures are estimates based on information from existing All Team franchisees. The actual amount needed may vary depending on factors such as location, business acumen, and local market conditions. The FDD recommends that prospective franchisees conduct their own independent investigation and analysis of potential expenses with the help of a business advisor before making a final decision.
Understanding the timing and nature of these additional funds is essential for budgeting and financial planning. Franchisees should clarify with All Team what specific types of expenses are included in this category and how they can best manage these costs during the critical initial phase of their business.
