What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dq Treat FDD, the standard transfer fee is $5,500. This fee is due when the licensee submits the application for consent of the transfer.
The transfer fee is subject to increases. Specifically, the fee increases by $500 on January 1, 2025, and every five years thereafter. This means that the transfer fee will increase to $6,000 on January 1, 2025, and continue to increase by $500 every five years.
Prospective franchisees should consider these transfer fee increases when planning for the future sale of their Dq Treat franchise. The increasing transfer fee could affect the profitability of a potential sale, so it's important to factor this into long-term financial projections.
