What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Exit's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, each Sponsoring Bonus is subject to a Sponsoring Bonus Fee. This fee is 10% of the Sponsoring Bonus per Transaction Side, but it will not exceed $75 per Transaction Side. This fee is deducted by Exit before the Sponsoring Bonus is paid out to the sponsor.
For an Exit franchisee, this means that when a sales representative they sponsor generates commissions, they may be eligible for a Sponsoring Bonus. However, before receiving that bonus, Exit will deduct a fee. This fee is capped at $75 per transaction side, even if 10% of the bonus exceeds that amount.
The Sponsoring Bonus Fee will stop being charged once the sponsored Sales Representative generates $100,000 of gross Commissions for their Franchise(s) in that calendar year. This is pro-rated in the first calendar year. Also, Sponsoring Bonus Fees for referrals between Exit Offices will be pro-rated.
