What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Exit's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a portion of each transaction fee is allocated to specific funds administered by Exit. The amount allocated to each fund varies depending on the gross commission earned per side of the transaction.
Specifically, the FDD outlines the allocation of the transaction fee to the U.S. Advertising Fund, the U.S. Creative Fund, the U.S. Administrative Bonus Fund, and the U.S. Charitable Fund. For example, on a $50 transaction fee, $12.00 is allocated to the U.S. Advertising Fund, $1.67 to the U.S. Creative Fund, $1.67 to the U.S. Administrative Bonus Fund, and $1.67 to the U.S. Charitable Fund. On a $400 transaction fee, $96.00 is allocated to the U.S. Advertising Fund, $13.33 to the U.S. Creative Fund, $13.33 to the U.S. Administrative Bonus Fund, and $13.33 to the U.S. Charitable Fund.
This means that as an Exit franchisee, a portion of the transaction fees collected from each sale or lease will be directed towards these specific funds. It is important to note that these allocations are subject to change by Exit.
