What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Corporate Cleaning Group's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the transfer fee is generally non-refundable. The FDD states that 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 of your franchise, and that this fee is non-refundable.
This means that if a franchisee decides to sell or transfer their Corporate Cleaning Group franchise to another party, they will be required to pay this fee to Corporate Cleaning Group. This fee covers the costs associated with evaluating and approving the transfer. Because the fee is non-refundable, the franchisee will not receive a refund of the $15,000 transfer fee, even if the transfer is not ultimately completed.
There is an exception to the transfer fee. No fee is required for transfer to a corporation, trust, or entity that you own or control other than Corporate Cleaning Group's costs to evaluate the proposed transfer. This exception could save franchisees money if they transfer their franchise to a business entity they control.
