What is the current monthly Business Development Services Fee for City Wide franchisees?

According to City Wide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the current Business Development Services Fee is $3,500 per month. This fee is intended to cover the costs associated with City Wide assisting the franchisee in prospecting and developing clientele during the first 12 months after the franchisee completes the initial training program. The FDD specifies that the franchisee is required to use City Wide's Business Development Services during this initial period.

However, the Business Development Services Fee may vary based upon the terms outlined in the Business Development Services Agreement. This implies that some franchisees might have different fee arrangements depending on the specific services they receive or the terms negotiated in their agreement.

Prospective franchisees should carefully review the Business Development Services Agreement (Attachment K) to understand the full scope of the services provided and how the fee applies to their specific situation. It is also important to note that this fee is separate from other fees such as the National Technology Development Fee ($1,864 per month) and the Information Technology Services Fee ($120 per month), as well as other potential marketing and royalty fees.
