What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Corporate Cleaning Group's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the transfer fee is payable on Corporate Cleaning Group's request, prior to and as a condition of their consent to any proposed transfer. This means a franchisee must pay the transfer fee before Corporate Cleaning Group approves the transfer of the franchise to a new owner. The fee is a condition of approval, meaning the transfer will not proceed until the fee is paid.
The transfer fee is $15,000, plus all brokerage commissions, finder fees, and similar charges incurred by Corporate Cleaning Group in connection with the transfer. This fee is non-refundable. However, there is no fee for transfer to a corporation, trust, or entity that the franchisee owns or controls, other than Corporate Cleaning Group's costs to evaluate the proposed transfer.
This payment structure is fairly standard in franchising. Franchisors typically want to ensure they are compensated for the administrative and legal work involved in approving a franchise transfer. The non-refundable nature of the fee highlights the importance of carefully vetting potential buyers and understanding the transfer process before initiating a transfer request with Corporate Cleaning Group.
