What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Clean Your Dirty Face's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, an Insufficient Funds fee of $100 is charged each time Clean Your Dirty Face attempts to debit the franchisee's CYDF Facial Bar account and receives a notice of insufficient funds. This fee is incurred as it happens.
This means that if a Clean Your Dirty Face franchisee does not have enough money in their designated bank account to cover the amounts Clean Your Dirty Face attempts to withdraw for royalties, marketing funds, or other fees, the franchisee will be charged $100 each time the transaction fails.
Franchisees should ensure they have sufficient funds available in their account to avoid these charges. This is a fairly standard fee in franchising, as it covers the administrative costs the franchisor incurs when a payment fails to go through. Franchisees should maintain careful financial management to prevent these fees from accumulating.
