What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Casiola's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Commission Fees are defined as fees and commissions paid to a Casiola Business for property management services, excluding Ancillary Third Party Service Fees. These fees are typically calculated as a percentage of the Gross Rental Revenues of a property managed by the Casiola Business. Casiola sets and determines these Commission Fees, and customers of each Casiola Business pay them directly to Casiola.
The FDD provides data on average, median, high, and low Commission Fees for Individual Unit Rental Properties for three Company Owned Outlets (Orlando 1, Orlando 2, and Orlando 3) during the 2022 and 2023 calendar years. For Orlando 1, the average Commission Fees per Individual Unit Rental Property were $7,471.65 in 2022 and $5,431.35 in 2023. The median Commission Fees were $7,808.26 in 2022 and $5,123.39 in 2023. The high Commission Fees reached $26,634.01 in 2022 and $25,622.45 in 2023, while the low Commission Fees were $74.38 in 2022 and $52.26 in 2023.

It's important to note that these figures represent the performance of Company Owned Outlets and, as the FDD states, individual results may differ, and there is no assurance that a franchisee will earn as much. These figures also do not include Ancillary Third Party Service Fees, which are excluded from the definition of Commission Fees. A prospective franchisee should consider these figures as a reference point and conduct their own due diligence to assess the potential financial performance of a Casiola franchise.
