What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, payment for opening inventory (supplies) is due prior to opening the agency. The estimated cost for this inventory ranges from $1,500 to $3,500. The payment method is listed as "as incurred", and payments are made to suppliers, printers, etc.
This means a prospective All Team franchisee should budget between $1,500 and $3,500 for initial supplies needed to start the business. These costs will be incurred before the agency officially opens, so franchisees need to have these funds available early in the process. The "as incurred" payment method suggests that franchisees will pay for these supplies as they are purchased, rather than in a single lump sum.
It's important for potential All Team franchisees to note that the $1,500 to $3,500 range is just an estimate. The actual cost of opening inventory may vary depending on the specific needs of the agency and the suppliers chosen. Therefore, conducting thorough research and potentially obtaining quotes from multiple suppliers is advisable to get a more accurate estimate of these expenses. Also, the franchisee should clarify with All Team what specific items are included in 'opening inventory (supplies)'.
