What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Royalty fee, which is 7% of Gross Sales, is payable weekly via electronic funds transfer. This payment is based on the Gross Sales of the Bft studio during the preceding business week.
Bft requires franchisees to start paying the Royalty fee once the studio begins collecting revenue from operations. However, Bft retains the right to collect the Royalty on a different interval, such as monthly, providing some flexibility in payment schedules.
It is important to note that other fees, such as the Brand Development Fund contributions and Technology Fee, are also payable weekly and monthly, respectively, around the same time and in the same manner as the Royalty. This means franchisees must manage their cash flow to accommodate these recurring payments. The consistency in payment methods (EFT) and timing (weekly/monthly) for these fees can help franchisees streamline their financial processes.
