What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated total initial investment to begin an All Team agency ranges from $80,700 to $124,500. This investment covers various expenses, including the franchise fee, leasehold improvements, office rent, lease deposit, travel and living expenses during training, utility deposits, business licenses, computer equipment and software, telephone and communication systems, furniture and office equipment, opening inventory, insurance, advertising, additional funds for the first three months, and professional fees.
The initial franchise fee is a flat $42,500, paid upfront when signing the Franchise Agreement. Other significant costs include office rent, estimated between $3,300 and $7,500 for three months, and computer equipment and software, ranging from $7,500 to $9,500. Leasehold improvements, if needed, could cost between $0 and $5,000, while the lease deposit ranges from $1,100 to $2,500. Additional funds to cover the first three months of operation are estimated to be between $10,000 and $25,000, which accounts for salaries, benefits, utilities, and supplies, excluding the owner's salary and payroll costs for temporary employees.
Prospective All Team franchisees should carefully review these figures with a business advisor to assess their financial readiness. The FDD emphasizes that these expenses are estimates and encourages franchisees to conduct their own independent investigation and analysis of potential costs. The cost of insurance, particularly worker's compensation, can vary significantly based on the agency's location. Furthermore, franchisees should note that these initial investment costs do not include payroll expenses for temporary employees, which are funded separately as detailed in Items 6 and 10 of the FDD.
