What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Dryer Vent Squad Franchise Disclosure Document, the quality assurance audit fee is due as invoiced. This means that Dryer Vent Squad franchisees will be responsible for paying the actual costs incurred by Dryer Vent Squad if they engage a third party to perform periodic quality assurance audits. These audits may include mystery shopper programs to assess the quality of service.
This fee structure means the amount a franchisee pays will vary depending on the scope and cost of the audit. It is important to note that the franchisee will only be charged when Dryer Vent Squad actually uses a third party for these audits. The invoice will detail the costs, and the franchisee will be expected to pay according to the terms specified on that invoice.
Franchisees should clarify with Dryer Vent Squad what triggers a quality assurance audit, how frequently these audits are conducted, and what the typical cost range has been for other franchisees. Understanding these factors can help a prospective franchisee better prepare for this potential expense.
