What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Central Bark Doggy Day Care's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Transfer Fee for a MUFA (Multi-Unit Franchise Agreement) is due upon approval of the assignment. This fee is applicable only if you or your owners engage in an "assignment" as defined in the MUFA.
The amount of the Transfer Fee for a MUFA is $2,500 multiplied by the number of unexecuted Franchise Agreements remaining on the Development Schedule. This means the more franchise agreements that are still pending execution under the MUFA, the higher the transfer fee will be.
For a prospective Central Bark Doggy Day Care franchisee, this means that if you decide to transfer your MUFA to another party, you will need to pay this fee at the time the transfer is approved. The fee can vary significantly depending on how many individual franchise agreements are still outstanding under the MUFA, so it's important to consider this potential cost when evaluating the possibility of transferring your rights.
