What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bigfoot Forestry's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the additional training fee is due 10 days after the invoice date. This fee is $500 per person per day, plus travel expenses for onsite training.
This fee is payable for each person who attends initial training after opening, such as a new Managing Owner or Project Manager. It also applies to retraining after a failed attempt, remedial training, or any additional training requested by the franchisee.
In addition to the per diem training fee, the franchisee must also reimburse Bigfoot Forestry for all travel expenses incurred for training conducted onsite within the franchisee's territory. However, Bigfoot Forestry does not charge for other training programs, implying that some training may be offered without this additional fee.
