What is the lump sum amount required for the technology fee for a Bigfoot Forestry franchise?

According to Bigfoot Forestry's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay a $350 technology fee before opening their business. This fee is paid as a lump sum to the franchisor, Bigfoot Forestry. The FDD specifies that this is the first installment of the technology fee.

This technology fee is separate from the cost of technology systems, which range from $900 to $1,200 and cover the initial costs to purchase a mobile smartphone device and printer. The cost of the pre-configured laptop, which is purchased from an affiliate, is included in the Startup Package.

Prospective franchisees should budget accordingly for both the technology fee and the technology systems costs, understanding that the technology fee is an initial installment, suggesting further ongoing technology-related expenses may arise. It is important to clarify with Bigfoot Forestry what future technology fees or costs a franchisee can expect.
