What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Development Fee is payable upon the execution of the Area Development Agreement. The amount ranges from $17,500 to $87,500 for a Traditional Franchisee and from $20,000 to $100,000 for an Ultra Franchisee. This fee is paid in a lump sum to Byrider Franchising Partners.
This means that a prospective Byrider franchisee entering into an Area Development Agreement must be prepared to pay the full Development Fee upfront when the agreement is signed. The exact amount depends on the type of franchise agreement (Traditional or Ultra) and the number of franchises the franchisee commits to developing.
It is important to note that this fee is non-refundable once paid to Byrider Franchising Partners. However, Byrider will credit the development fee in either $17,500 (for Traditional Franchisees) or $20,000 (for Ultra Franchisees) increments, against the Initial Franchise Fees that become due as Franchise Agreements are executed with Byrider Franchising Partners.
