What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee requests additional on-site assistance to facilitate the opening of their Byrider business, they must reimburse Byrider for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Byrider in providing such assistance, in addition to paying a daily fee. The standard fee for additional on-site assistance is $1,000 per day.
This means that beyond the $1,000 daily fee, a new Byrider franchisee needs to budget for potential travel, lodging, meals, and other direct costs incurred by the Byrider representative providing the support. These out-of-pocket expenses are separate from the daily service fee and can vary depending on the distance to the franchise location, the duration of the assistance, and the specific expenses incurred.
For a prospective Byrider franchisee, this highlights the importance of careful planning and budgeting during the initial setup phase. While the FDD specifies the $1,000 daily fee, the additional out-of-pocket expenses are less predictable. It would be prudent for a potential franchisee to discuss with Byrider what these out-of-pocket expenses typically amount to, to better prepare a financial forecast for the business launch.
