What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to City Publications's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, insurance payments, which range from $600 to $800, are made to third parties. This is part of the estimated initial investment a franchisee will need to start the business.
Insurance costs can vary based on factors such as location, the insurance carrier, and the type of vehicle used for the business. The FDD indicates that the specific insurance requirements are detailed further in Section 16 of the Franchise Agreement, which a prospective franchisee should review carefully.
It is typical in franchising for franchisees to handle their own insurance and pay those costs directly to third-party providers. This allows the franchisee to shop for the best rates and coverage to meet the franchisor's requirements, as outlined in the Franchise Agreement. Franchisees should factor these ongoing insurance expenses into their financial projections.
