What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Canopy Lawn Care's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may be required to attend periodic meetings and the annual convention. The fee for seminars, conventions, or programs is Canopy Lawn Care's then-current fee, which ranges from $500 to $750 per person. This fee does not include the actual cost of materials, if any, which would be an additional expense.
Attendance at the annual convention is currently required. Canopy Lawn Care may collect the annual convention fee on a monthly basis or in any other manner or frequency they determine. Franchisees are also responsible for covering their own costs and expenses, as well as the costs and expenses incurred by their Designated Business Manager and employees when attending these meetings.
This means that a Canopy Lawn Care franchisee should budget between $500 and $750 per person for seminar fees, in addition to covering the cost of any required materials. They must also factor in travel, lodging, meals, and other personal expenses for themselves, their Designated Business Manager, and any employees attending these events. The fees and attendance requirements are subject to change, as Canopy Lawn Care reserves the right to conduct these meetings and determine the collection method for the annual convention fee.
