For Belocal franchisees, what is the maximum amount that can be charged per day for additional training, excluding travel-related expenses?

According to Belocal's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the maximum additional training fee that Belocal can charge a franchisee is $1,000 per day. This fee does not include travel-related expenses, which the franchisee is also responsible for covering.

This means that if Belocal requires or a franchisee requests additional training, the franchisee will have to pay up to $1,000 per day for the training itself, in addition to covering costs like transportation, lodging, and meals. This could represent a significant expense, especially if the training lasts for multiple days or requires travel to a distant location.

It is important for prospective Belocal franchisees to factor in these potential additional training costs when evaluating the overall financial investment required to operate a franchise. Franchisees should inquire about the typical frequency and duration of additional training, as well as the potential for these fees to increase over time, keeping in mind that Item 22 states that certain fees, including the additional training fee, cannot be increased by more than 25% of the amount disclosed in the FDD.
