Under what condition is the Impact Study Fee for a Bw Premier Collection franchise refunded?

According to Bw Premier Collection's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Impact Study Fee is refundable under one specific condition. If Bw Premier Collection denies a prospective franchisee's application for any reason, the Impact Study Fee will be refunded.

This is a notable exception, as the document specifies that most fees associated with the application process are non-refundable. The Impact Study Fee is intended to cover the costs associated with Bw Premier Collection conducting a market analysis to assess the potential impact of a new franchise location on existing franchisees.

For a prospective Bw Premier Collection franchisee, this means that while the initial Application Fee and Affiliation Fee are non-refundable, the Impact Study Fee is only at risk if the application is fully considered but ultimately rejected. This provides some financial protection to the applicant in the event that Bw Premier Collection determines that the proposed location is not suitable for a franchise.
