What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bevaris Alliance's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Bevaris Alliance chooses to procure insurance on behalf of a franchisee, the franchisee must reimburse Bevaris Alliance for the premium and other out-of-pocket costs incurred. In addition to these costs, Bevaris Alliance charges an administrative fee of 10% of the insurance premium.
This means that if a franchisee's insurance premium is $1,000 and Bevaris Alliance procures the insurance, the franchisee would have to pay Bevaris Alliance $1,000 for the premium, any other out-of-pocket costs Bevaris Alliance incurred, plus an additional $100 (10% of $1,000) as an administrative fee.
It is important for prospective franchisees to understand this fee, as it can add to the overall cost of operating a Bevaris Alliance franchise. Franchisees should inquire about the typical insurance premiums and any potential out-of-pocket costs to better estimate this expense. Franchisees should also clarify with Bevaris Alliance under what circumstances they would choose to procure insurance on behalf of the franchisee.
