What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bevaris Alliance's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee requests or Bevaris Alliance requires additional training, the franchisee may be responsible for expenses beyond hourly or daily fees. Specifically, Bevaris Alliance may charge for reimbursement of travel, lodging, and meals associated with the additional training. This means that franchisees need to factor in these potential costs when budgeting for ongoing training and development.
It is important to note that Bevaris Alliance does not charge for initial training beyond the franchise fee, and up to three people (the franchisee, a partner, spouse, or assistant manager) can attend the initial training session at no additional cost, provided they attend the same session. However, additional attendees or new trainees for the initial training must pay $500 per day. Franchisees are also responsible for the travel expenses and salaries for these attendees.
Prospective franchisees should consider the potential need for additional training and the associated costs, including hourly or daily fees, travel, lodging, and meals. Understanding these potential expenses is crucial for accurate financial planning and ensuring the long-term success of the franchise. Franchisees should inquire about the typical circumstances that would necessitate additional training to better anticipate these costs.
