What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Development Fee paid by a Traditional franchisee is credited against the Initial Franchise Fees. The Development Fee is fully earned upon receipt and is non-refundable.
Specifically, Byrider Franchising Partners will credit the Development Fee in $17,500 increments for Traditional Franchisees. This credit is applied towards the Initial Franchise Fees that become due as the franchisee executes Franchise Agreements with Byrider Franchising Partners.
For example, if a Traditional franchisee commits to developing multiple Byrider businesses, the Development Fee, calculated at $17,500 per franchise, will be credited in these increments against the initial franchise fees as each new franchise agreement is finalized. This arrangement effectively allows franchisees to apply their initial development investment towards the cost of opening individual Byrider locations.
