What is the payout timeframe for Exit Sponsoring Bonuses when funds are not received electronically?

According to Exit's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Sponsoring Bonuses are typically paid via electronic funds transfer within seven days when the Company Development Fee is received electronically. However, in situations where the Company Development Fee is not received electronically, or if an associate has not elected to receive their Sponsoring Bonus electronically, the payout timeframe extends to within 30 days.

This means that as an Exit franchisee, you can expect a longer waiting period for Sponsoring Bonuses if the associated Company Development Fee is not processed electronically or if the associate prefers a non-electronic payment method. This could impact your cash flow and financial planning, as the bonus payment will not be as immediate as with electronic transfers.

It's important to note that Exit, as the franchisor, is responsible for the payment of all Sponsoring Bonuses throughout the Exit system. This ensures consistency and centralized control over bonus payouts. Franchisees should be aware of these timelines and communicate them effectively to their associates to manage expectations regarding bonus payments.
