What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beverly Anns Cookie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Document Fee is due 'as incurred.' This means that the $250 fee is payable each time a franchisee requires an additional copy of the Franchise Disclosure Document or the signed Franchise Agreement.
This fee is not a recurring annual or monthly expense. It is only triggered if the franchisee needs extra documentation. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as document handling incurs administrative costs for the franchisor.
Prospective franchisees should keep this in mind if they anticipate needing multiple copies of these documents for their own records, legal reviews, or financing purposes. While $250 may seem minor, these one-time fees can add up during the initial setup phase of the franchise.
