What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Buildingstars's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, travel and living expenses during training for the Technician Program are due as they are incurred. These expenses, which range from $0 to $1,000, are paid as a lump sum directly to the airlines, hotels, and restaurants providing the services.
This means that franchisees should budget for these costs and be prepared to pay for them out-of-pocket as they participate in the training program. The 'as incurred' payment schedule is common in franchising, as it allows franchisees to manage their expenses directly and avoid upfront costs.
Prospective Buildingstars franchisees should carefully track their travel and living expenses during training to stay within their budget. It's also advisable to confirm with Buildingstars what specific expenses are covered during training to avoid any unexpected costs.
