What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Crisp & Green's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Securities Offering fee is payable upon demand. This fee is only applicable if a franchisee proposes to engage in a public or private securities offering. The fee is designed to reimburse Crisp & Green for their reasonable costs and expenses, including legal and accounting fees, incurred to evaluate the proposed offering.
In practical terms, this means that if a Crisp & Green franchisee decides to raise capital through a securities offering, they will be responsible for covering Crisp & Green's expenses in assessing the offering. These expenses can include legal and accounting work necessary for the franchisor to ensure the offering complies with regulations and protects the brand's interests.
This fee is not a standard fee for all franchisees, but rather a conditional one that arises only if the franchisee pursues a securities offering. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand this potential cost if they plan to seek external funding through securities offerings. Franchisees should factor in these potential costs when considering their financing options and business plans.
