What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Budget's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the cost for an additional HP USB Mouse is $10.00. This is a one-time hardware cost that a franchisee may incur.
As a prospective Budget franchisee, it's important to factor in these hardware costs when estimating your initial investment and ongoing expenses. While $10.00 may seem like a minor expense, these small costs can accumulate, especially if multiple workstations require additional mice.
Budget itemizes various hardware and software costs in the FDD, allowing potential franchisees to understand the specific technology-related expenses they may face. This transparency helps in budgeting and financial planning. It is important to note that this is only the cost for the mouse itself, and does not include any potential shipping and handling costs.
