Under what condition might the CRM monthly fee increase for a Bigfoot Forestry franchise?

According to Bigfoot Forestry's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the monthly fee for the CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system may increase if the franchisee requires more user licenses as their business grows. The base technology fee covers one user license. As the Bigfoot Forestry business expands and more personnel need access to the CRM, the franchisee will need to purchase additional licenses, leading to an increase in the monthly fee.

It's important to note that these monthly fees are subject to change based on pricing adjustments made by the licensor of the CRM software. This means that even without adding more user licenses, the monthly fee could still increase if the software provider raises their prices.

Prospective Bigfoot Forestry franchisees should inquire about the current cost per additional user license and the potential for price fluctuations from the licensor to accurately forecast their ongoing technology expenses as their business scales. Understanding these costs is crucial for managing the financial aspects of the franchise and ensuring profitability as the business grows.
