What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay an initial license fee of $4,500 for the use of the required software. This software, which currently includes "Avionte", provides billing, payroll, employee records, customer information, and accounts receivable functionalities.
The initial $4,500 fee grants the franchisee a license to use the software. However, franchisees also pay a weekly Technology Fee of $100, which covers the continuing license fee to maintain the software, as well as network support, email access, and website maintenance and updates. All Team sublicenses the proprietary software to its franchisees.
All Team reserves the right to require different, upgraded, or additional programs in the future, and the franchisee will be responsible for the costs associated with these changes. In addition to the weekly Technology Fee, franchisees should anticipate spending between $0 and $500 per year for optional or required maintenance, updates, and upgrades to the computer system, payable to third-party vendors.
