For a Buildingstars franchise, how will Master apply any excess credits beyond the down payment?

According to Buildingstars's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Buildingstars has the sole discretion regarding how payments from franchisees are applied. Specifically, Buildingstars can apply payments to any past due indebtedness. This includes fees, expenses, purchases from Buildingstars or its affiliates, interest, or any other form of debt the franchisee owes.

This means that if a Buildingstars franchisee has excess credits beyond the initial down payment, Buildingstars can use those credits to cover any outstanding financial obligations the franchisee has with the company. This could include unpaid franchise fees, supply costs, or any other debts.

For a prospective Buildingstars franchisee, this policy highlights the importance of maintaining good financial standing with the franchisor. Any excess payments or credits may not be returned to the franchisee but instead used to offset existing debts. Franchisees should ensure they understand all potential fees and expenses and manage their accounts carefully to avoid accumulating debt that could be covered by future credits.
