What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the royalty fee structure varies based on the franchisee's designation and the number of Byrider businesses they operate. The document outlines different royalty fee arrangements, including a Multi-Location Flat Rate (MLFR) option. However, the excerpt does not explicitly state the royalty fee for a Legacy Interim Founder Franchisee or Standard Franchisee with one Byrider business under the Multi-Location Flat Rate.
Instead, the document provides a table showing royalty fees based on the number of Byrider businesses and franchisee category. For a single Byrider business, the royalty fee is $12,312.00 for Legacy Interim Founder Franchisees or Standard Franchisees. However, this is under the traditional royalty fee structure, not the MLFR. The MLFR is an alternative royalty payment option that Byrider may allow if the franchisee qualifies and elects to pay it.
The Multi-Location Flat Rate (MLFR) supersedes the traditional royalty fee structure as long as the franchisee continues to qualify for and elect to pay the MLFR, operates at least two Byrider businesses, and remains in compliance with all agreements. If a franchisee fails to meet these conditions, they will be required to comply with the traditional royalty fee structure. The document also mentions that Byrider reserves the right to increase the royalty fee based on the National Consumer Price Index.
Because the excerpt does not provide the specific royalty fee for a Legacy Interim Founder Franchisee or Standard Franchisee with one Byrider business under the Multi-Location Flat Rate, it is recommended that prospective franchisees ask Byrider directly about the current royalty fee structure and conditions for the MLFR in their specific circumstances. Understanding the specific royalty obligations is crucial for assessing the financial viability of a Byrider franchise.
