What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Better Blend's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Better Blend may charge franchisees a fee for in-person support under specific circumstances. If a franchisee requests in-person support from Better Blend, the company may charge a fee to cover the costs associated with providing that support.
This fee is intended to compensate Better Blend for the resources they expend when providing on-site assistance to a franchisee. In addition to the support fee itself, Better Blend may also charge the franchisee for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by their employees while providing the support.
These out-of-pocket expenses can include travel costs, lodging, and meals for the employees who are providing the on-site support. This means that the total cost of in-person support could vary depending on the location of the franchise, the duration of the support needed, and the expenses incurred by Better Blend's personnel.
