What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial franchise fee for each additional franchise is $35,000 for Traditional Franchisees. To be considered a Traditional Franchisee, the franchisee or their affiliate(s) must have signed a Franchise Agreement with Byrider Franchising prior to January 1, 2021, for at least one Byrider Business and be in compliance with that agreement and all other franchise agreements with Byrider Franchising Partners. This fee is current as of the date of the FDD but is subject to change at Byrider's discretion without prior notice. The initial franchise fee is nonrefundable.
Prospective franchisees should note that the initial franchise fee is just one component of the overall investment required to open a Byrider franchise. Other costs, such as real estate, equipment, and initial marketing expenses, must also be considered. The FDD outlines additional fees and expenses associated with operating a Byrider franchise.
It is important to verify with Byrider whether the initial franchise fee for additional franchises has changed since the date of the Disclosure Document. Franchisees should also carefully review the Traditional Area Development Agreement to understand their obligations and the development schedule. Understanding the terms and conditions of the franchise agreement and any related agreements is crucial before investing in a Byrider franchise.
