What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Crisp & Green's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for specific expenses related to training programs. For any training programs, whether initial, opening, or additional, the franchisee must cover all compensation and expenses for themselves and their personnel. These expenses include travel, meals, and lodging incurred while attending the training.
In the event that Crisp & Green provides additional training, the franchisee is also required to reimburse Crisp & Green for their costs. These costs include, but are not limited to, lodging, meals, and travel arrangements for the trainers. Additionally, the franchisee must pay Crisp & Green $500 per day for each individual provided by Crisp & Green to assist the franchisee during the additional training.
These financial responsibilities underscore the importance of budgeting for training-related costs when considering a Crisp & Green franchise. Franchisees should factor in potential expenses for themselves and their staff, as well as the costs associated with trainers and assistance provided by Crisp & Green, to accurately assess the overall investment required.
