If I request consultation on technical matters from Exit, am I responsible for covering any charges?

According to Exit's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if you request consultation on technical matters from Exit Realty Upper Midwest, you are responsible for covering certain charges. Specifically, you must pay Exit Realty Upper Midwest's then-current charges, as well as any related travel and living expenses incurred for providing these services.

This means that beyond the standard franchise fees and ongoing royalties, franchisees need to budget for potential consulting costs should they require technical assistance from Exit. The exact amount of these charges will vary depending on the nature of the consultation, the time involved, and the travel and living expenses incurred by Exit Realty Upper Midwest.

Prospective franchisees should inquire about the typical costs associated with technical consultations to better understand the potential financial implications. It would be prudent to ask for an estimate of these charges and clarify what constitutes a 'technical matter' to avoid unexpected expenses during the franchise operation. Understanding these costs upfront will help in accurate financial planning and management of the Exit franchise.
