What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to City Publications's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the management fee for the VeriCast Program is $65 per month. This fee is due in advance on the first of each month. This means that if a franchisee chooses to participate in the VeriCast program, they must pay City Publications $65 at the beginning of each month to maintain their participation.
The VeriCast program is optional, as noted in the FDD. It is also not available in all geographic areas and can be terminated by VeriCast at any time. To participate in the VeriCast program, a franchisee must publish their deck mailers first and continue to produce quarterly 50,000 deck mailers.
It is important for prospective franchisees to consider that the VeriCast program is not available in all markets and can be terminated at any time. Franchisees should also be aware of the requirements to publish deck mailers and produce quarterly mailers to remain eligible for the program. This fee is in addition to other fees detailed in Item 6, such as the royalty fee, minimum royalty, and other technology and website fees.
