What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, legal fees, which range from $100 to $11,000, are paid 'as arranged' to an attorney. This means the payment schedule and method are determined between the franchisee and the attorney providing the legal services.
This 'as arranged' method of payment provides flexibility, allowing franchisees to negotiate payment terms that suit their financial situation. This could involve setting up a payment plan or agreeing on a specific payment schedule based on milestones in the legal process.
However, it also places the onus on the franchisee to manage these negotiations and ensure clarity on payment expectations upfront. Prospective franchisees should discuss these arrangements thoroughly with their attorney to avoid any misunderstandings or unexpected costs. Unlike some fees which are paid directly to Beyond Juicery Eatery or its designated suppliers, legal fees are managed independently by the franchisee.
