What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to City Wide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the technology provisioning fee is $12,500. This is a lump sum payment due at the signing of the Franchise Agreement. The fee is paid directly to City Wide.
The FDD specifies that this technology provisioning fee covers the setup of the franchisee on City Wide's intranet computer software and customer relationship management (CRM) software. This setup is intended to facilitate communication and collaboration between the franchisee, City Wide, and the rest of the City Wide system.
This fee is part of the initial investment required to start a City Wide franchise. It is important for prospective franchisees to factor this cost into their budget when evaluating the financial feasibility of the franchise. The technology provisioning ensures that franchisees have the necessary tools to interact with the City Wide network and manage customer relationships effectively from the outset.
