What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial franchise fee for Beverly Anns Cookie is paid in a lump sum. This payment is due when the Franchise Agreement is signed. The payment is made directly to Beverly Anns Cookie.
This means that a prospective franchisee must have the full amount of the initial franchise fee available at the time of signing the agreement. Unlike some franchises that may offer financing options for the initial franchise fee, Beverly Anns Cookie requires the entire fee upfront. This is a non-negotiable term and is standard across all franchisees.
It is important for potential franchisees to factor this lump sum payment into their financial planning. They should also be aware that this fee, like other payments made to Beverly Anns Cookie or its affiliates, is nonrefundable under any circumstances once paid, as stated elsewhere in Item 7.
