What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the transfer fee is due before the transfer takes place. The transfer fee is $5,000. This fee covers the cost of training the new franchisee and other costs associated with the sale, transfer, or assignment of interest in the Byrider business.
For a prospective Byrider franchisee, this means that if they decide to sell their franchise, they will need to pay Byrider $5,000 before the new owner takes over. This fee is in place to ensure that the new franchisee receives adequate training and to cover any administrative costs Byrider incurs during the transfer process.
It is important for potential franchisees to factor this fee into their financial planning, especially if they anticipate selling their franchise in the future. Understanding the timing of this payment is crucial for managing cash flow during the transfer process.
