What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Baymont Inn Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the non-refundable application fee is $2,500. This fee is applied towards either the Initial Fee for new construction or conversion facilities or the Relicense Fee for existing facilities or franchise renewals.
Specifically, the $2,500 application fee is deducted from the total Initial Fee or Relicense Fee amount. The remaining balance of the Initial Fee or Relicense Fee is due when the Franchise Agreement is signed. Once the agreement is signed by Baymont Inn Suites, the Initial Fee or Relicense Fee becomes fully earned and non-refundable.
This means that while the initial $2,500 application fee is non-refundable from the outset, it does contribute to the overall cost of starting or renewing a Baymont Inn Suites franchise. Prospective franchisees should be aware that the remaining portion of the Initial Fee or Relicense Fee is also non-refundable once the agreement is executed by Baymont Inn Suites, highlighting the importance of careful consideration before signing.
