What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bevaris Alliance's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if additional training is either requested by the franchisee or required by Bevaris Alliance, the franchisee may be charged fees. Bevaris Alliance has the right to charge a reasonable hourly or daily fee for the additional training.
In addition to the hourly or daily fee, the franchisee may also be responsible for covering the costs of travel, lodging, and meals associated with the additional training. This means that franchisees need to factor in these potential expenses when considering the overall cost of operating a Bevaris Alliance franchise.
This policy is fairly standard in the franchise industry, as it allows franchisors to recoup costs associated with providing extra training beyond the initial program. Franchisees should inquire about the typical cost and frequency of additional training to better understand the potential financial implications.
