What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, All Team will make continuing advisory assistance available for franchisees in the operation of their franchise. However, if a franchisee specifically requests advisory assistance, All Team reserves the right to charge a reasonable fee for providing this assistance.
In addition to the advisory fee, All Team may also require the franchisee to compensate them for any travel expenses incurred by All Team's employees while providing the advisory assistance. These expenses include, but are not limited to, transportation, lodging, meals, and other related costs.
This policy means that while All Team offers ongoing support, franchisees should be aware that in-depth, requested assistance could incur additional costs beyond the standard franchise fees. Franchisees should clarify the scope of 'continuing advisory assistance' included in the franchise agreement and understand the potential costs for additional support.
