What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bb.Q Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the transfer fee for a Multi-Unit Operator Agreement is $1,000 multiplied by the number of Franchised Businesses to be developed under the agreement. This fee is payable to Bb.Q Chicken upon completion of the transfer.
For a prospective franchisee, this means that if they decide to sell their rights to develop multiple Bb.Q Chicken locations to another party, they will incur this transfer fee. The fee directly scales with the number of restaurants covered by the Multi-Unit Operator Agreement. For example, transferring an agreement to develop five locations would result in a $5,000 transfer fee, while transferring an agreement for ten locations would cost $10,000.
It's important for franchisees to factor this potential cost into their long-term financial planning. If a franchisee anticipates needing to transfer their Multi-Unit Operator Agreement, they should consider the impact of this fee on the overall profitability of their investment. Reviewing Item 17 of the Bb.Q Chicken FDD, as referenced in the disclosure, will provide additional context and requirements related to the transfer process.
