What expenses are Buildingstars franchisees responsible for when attending refresher training programs?

According to Buildingstars's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for covering certain expenses related to refresher training programs. Specifically, the franchisee must pay for all transportation, lodging, meals, and other expenses incurred by themselves and their employees when attending these programs.

In addition to these direct costs, Buildingstars retains the right to charge a reasonable fee for the refresher training programs themselves. This means that franchisees should budget not only for travel and accommodation but also for potential training fees charged by Buildingstars.

This policy is fairly standard in the franchise industry, where franchisees typically bear the costs of ongoing training and development. It is important for prospective Buildingstars franchisees to factor in these potential expenses when evaluating the overall cost of the franchise and planning their operating budget.
