Who is responsible for the expenses incurred in connection with attending all training programs for Augusta Lawn Care?

According to Augusta Lawn Care's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for all expenses incurred while attending any training programs. This includes costs for transportation, lodging, meals, and wages for both the franchisee and their employees.

This means that a prospective Augusta Lawn Care franchisee needs to factor in these training-related expenses when budgeting for their initial investment and ongoing operational costs. These costs apply not only to the initial training program but also to any refresher or follow-up training that Augusta Lawn Care designates. The cost for follow-up training is $250 per additional training.

Furthermore, if a franchisee needs to train replacement managers or employees, they will also be responsible for all associated expenses. While the training itself may be provided on similar terms as the initial training, there may be a fee for replacement manager training. It is important to note that training for replacement managers will occur on a space-available basis and may not be available immediately after the new hire.

In summary, the financial burden of attending all required training programs falls on the Augusta Lawn Care franchisee, making it essential to plan and budget accordingly for these potentially significant costs.
