What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bevaris Alliance's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the costs and attorneys' fees will vary under the circumstances and are due as incurred by the franchisee. These fees are payable to the franchisee's attorney for any legal work done to assist them.
This means that as a prospective Bevaris Alliance franchisee, you are responsible for covering your own legal expenses related to setting up the franchise. The amount will depend on the complexity and extent of the legal services you require. It is important to budget for these costs and understand that they are paid directly to your attorney, not to Bevaris Alliance itself.
This arrangement is typical in franchising, as franchisees usually seek independent legal advice to review the franchise agreement and ensure they understand their obligations. By paying your own attorney directly, you maintain control over the legal services you receive and can be sure that your interests are being represented.
