What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bath Tune Up's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a Transfer Lead Referral Fee is applicable when a franchise is sold to a buyer already in Bath Tune Up's sales database. This fee is intended to partially reimburse Bath Tune Up for the costs of developing leads that ultimately purchase from existing franchisees.
The standard Transfer Lead Referral Fee is $15,000, but it could be the amount of any broker fees that Bath Tune Up must pay a third party (not an employee of theirs). This fee is due upon the transfer of the franchise agreement.
This means that if you sell your Bath Tune Up franchise to a buyer who was already in Bath Tune Up's lead database at the time you started discussing the sale, you will be responsible for paying this fee. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand this potential cost when considering the sale of their franchise and to clarify with Bath Tune Up whether a potential buyer is already in their database to avoid unexpected fees.
