What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Big Blue Swim School's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, each franchisee receives 5 free email licenses. If a franchisee requires more than the 5 included licenses, they can purchase additional licenses from Big Blue Swim School. A basic license costs $6 per month, while a standard license is $12 per month.
These additional email licenses are optional, allowing franchisees to tailor their operational costs to their specific needs. The fees for these licenses are billed monthly, similar to royalty payments. Big Blue Swim School retains the right to increase these charges in the future, but they will not exceed $10 per month for a basic license and $20 per month for a standard license.
This tiered email license structure provides flexibility for Big Blue Swim School franchisees. Smaller operations may find that the initial 5 licenses are sufficient, while larger locations with more staff can opt to purchase additional licenses as needed. The potential for fee increases should be considered, although the FDD specifies the maximum possible charges.
