What This Means (2025 FDD)
The 2025 Best Western Franchise Disclosure Document states that the Best Western Board of Directors establishes annual dues during each fiscal year for the succeeding fiscal year. While the FDD specifies how annual dues are determined, it does not state when Best Western sends the annual dues schedule to its members.
Because the FDD does not specify when the annual dues schedule is mailed, prospective franchisees should inquire directly with Best Western about the timing of these communications. Understanding when these schedules are distributed will allow franchisees to plan their finances accordingly.
Specifically, a prospective franchisee should ask Best Western: When exactly will I receive the schedule of annual dues? Is it sent via mail or electronically? What is the typical lead time between receiving the schedule and the due date for payment?
