What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the transfer fee for an existing franchisee approved for an additional franchise is $5,000. This is a reduced fee compared to the standard transfer fee, which is $9,000.
This reduced transfer fee is a benefit for existing Aw franchisees looking to expand their operations. It lowers the financial barrier to acquiring additional locations. However, the franchisee must be approved for the additional franchise to qualify for the reduced fee.
It is important for prospective franchisees to understand all the conditions and requirements for transferring a franchise, including the need for Aw's approval and compliance with all existing agreements. This reduced fee only applies to existing franchisees acquiring additional franchises and does not apply to other types of transfers.
