What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Big Blue Swim School's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are allotted 5 free email licenses. If a franchisee wants more than 5 email licenses, they will be billed monthly, similar to how royalty payments are billed. The cost is $6 per month for a basic license and $12 per month for a standard license for each additional license.
This charge is optional, allowing franchisees to decide if they need more than the included 5 licenses. Big Blue Swim School retains the right to increase these charges, but they will not exceed $10 per month for a basic license and $20 per month for a standard license.
For a prospective Big Blue Swim School franchisee, this means budgeting for potential email license costs if more than 5 are needed to operate the business effectively. It also provides some flexibility, as the franchisee can choose the number and type of licenses needed and adjust as the business grows.
