What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beyond Juicery Eatery's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the cost for signage, which ranges from $12,100 to $13,650, is due as incurred. This means that payments are made as the expenses arise during the process of obtaining and installing the necessary signs for the franchise location. The payments are to be made to suppliers designated or approved by Beyond Juicery Eatery.
This 'as incurred' payment schedule is common during the setup phase of a franchise, as it aligns payments with the actual progress of work and delivery of goods. This arrangement allows franchisees to manage their cash flow more effectively by distributing the costs over time rather than requiring a large upfront payment. It also provides a level of transparency, as franchisees can see the costs associated with each stage of the signage process.
However, franchisees should be aware that 'as incurred' can also mean that costs may fluctuate depending on the specific requirements and timelines of the project. It is important for prospective Beyond Juicery Eatery franchisees to maintain open communication with the designated suppliers and the franchisor to ensure they are aware of any potential changes in costs and to budget accordingly. Careful tracking of these expenses is essential for managing the overall investment in the franchise.
