Can the Business Development Services Fee for City Wide franchisees vary?

According to City Wide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Business Development Services Fee can vary. The standard fee is currently $3,500 per month. However, the FDD specifies that this fee may change based on the terms outlined in the Business Development Services Agreement.

This means that while there is a set monthly fee, the actual amount a franchisee pays could be different depending on the specific services they receive or the agreement they negotiate with City Wide. It is important for prospective franchisees to carefully review the Business Development Services Agreement to understand the conditions under which the fee might vary.

In addition to the Business Development Services Fee, City Wide franchisees also pay other recurring fees, such as a National Technology Development Fee of $1,864 per month, an Information Technology Services Fee that starts at $120 per month, a City Wide You Fee of $1,000 per year, and a City View IT Project fee of $300 per month. The Information Technology Services Fee can also vary based on the level of services selected. Understanding how these fees may fluctuate is crucial for budgeting and financial planning as a City Wide franchisee.
