Who bears the costs of maintaining and upgrading a Byrider Business Location?

According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for all costs associated with maintaining and upgrading their Byrider Business Location. This includes both ongoing maintenance to keep the location in good repair and condition, as well as any facility updates required by Byrider to meet their current standards.

The costs for these facility updates are capped at $150,000 during the term of the franchise agreement. However, this cap does not include the costs of ongoing maintenance or sign replacements, meaning those expenses are the franchisee's responsibility regardless of the cap.

This arrangement means a prospective Byrider franchisee needs to budget not only for the initial build-out and setup of the location but also for continuous upkeep and potential upgrades mandated by Byrider throughout the franchise term. This could represent a significant ongoing expense, and franchisees should carefully consider these costs when evaluating the financial feasibility of the franchise.
