What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bw Premier Collection's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, new hotel owners must pay a $25,000 Affiliation Fee. This fee covers orientation, training, on-boarding services, and support provided by Bw Premier Collection. The fee is paid as a lump sum.
This Affiliation Fee is due prior to the execution of the Distribution Agreement, meaning it's one of the upfront costs a franchisee must be prepared to pay before officially joining the Bw Premier Collection system. It is important to note that this fee is separate from the $4,000 Application Fee, which is paid when submitting the initial application.
Prospective franchisees should factor this $25,000 fee into their initial investment calculations. Understanding what specific training and support services are included for this fee is crucial. It would be prudent to ask Bw Premier Collection for a detailed breakdown of the orientation, training, and on-boarding services covered by the Affiliation Fee to fully assess its value.
