What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Canopy Lawn Care's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Royalty Fee is due monthly. Specifically, it is payable by EFT (electronic funds transfer) on or before the fifth of each month. The Royalty Fee is the greater of 8% of Gross Revenue or the required Minimum Royalty.
This means that as a Canopy Lawn Care franchisee, you must calculate your gross revenue for the previous month and ensure that the appropriate royalty payment is electronically transferred to Canopy Lawn Care by the 5th of the current month. The amount due will be either 8% of your gross revenue or the Minimum Royalty, whichever is higher.
It's important to note that Canopy Lawn Care may, at its discretion, abate the Minimum Royalty during certain months of the year due to seasonal factors in your Territory. This typically applies to winter weather states where adverse conditions prevent lawn care services. Franchisees should confirm with Canopy Lawn Care whether this applies to their specific territory.
