What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Augusta Lawn Care Franchise Disclosure Document, the standard insufficient funds fee is $50. However, for franchisees in Minnesota, this fee is amended.
Specifically, Item 6 of the FDD and the Franchise Agreement is amended to limit the Insufficient Funds Charge to $30 per occurrence, as required by Minnesota Statute 604.113. This means that if an Augusta Lawn Care franchisee in Minnesota makes a payment to Augusta Lawn Care that is returned due to insufficient funds, the franchisee will be charged $30, rather than the standard $50 fee.
This amendment ensures that Augusta Lawn Care's franchise agreement complies with Minnesota state law, which sets a limit on the amount that can be charged for insufficient funds. Prospective franchisees in Minnesota should be aware of this amendment, as it provides a more favorable fee structure compared to the standard agreement.
