According to Buona's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the on-site training fee ranges from $39,228 to $69,901. This fee covers the on-site training that Buona provides to the franchisee.
A franchisee is required to make two lump sum payments for the on-site training fee. The first payment is a $20,000 deposit, which is due when the franchise agreement is executed. The balance of the on-site training fee is paid as incurred.
The on-site training fee is based on a daily rate for each training session conducted at the franchisee's location, in addition to covering the travel expenses incurred by Buona representatives who travel to the site for training. The number of trainers and the duration of the training can vary, depending on what Buona deems necessary for the franchisee's operations.
