What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to City Wide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, City Wide provides franchisees with financial accounting, processing, reporting, and other financial services for the first 12 months of operation. This is part of the initial support to help new franchisees establish their business.
The FDD also lists an estimated monthly cost of $1,500 for these accounting services. However, this line item appears to represent the fee a franchisee pays to City Wide for these services, not the cost to City Wide to provide them.
After the initial 12-month period, it is not specified whether City Wide continues to offer these services, or if the franchisee is expected to handle these responsibilities independently or through a third-party provider. A prospective franchisee should clarify with City Wide what options are available after the initial 12-month support period.
