What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Caring Transitions' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Lead Referral Fee is $10,000. This fee is due upon the transfer of your franchise to a buyer who was already listed in Caring Transitions' sales database at the time you and the buyer began discussing a sale.
The Lead Referral Fee is intended to partially reimburse Caring Transitions for their costs in developing leads who then purchase from existing franchise owners. This means that if you sell your franchise to someone who was already in Caring Transitions' system as a potential buyer, you will be responsible for paying this fee.
This fee is a one-time payment that arises only in the specific circumstance of selling to a lead already identified by Caring Transitions. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand this potential cost, especially if they are considering selling their franchise in the future. Knowing this policy can help in planning for the financial implications of a future sale.
