Who is responsible for making payments of referral fees and commission shares at Exit?

According to Exit's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Exit is responsible for making payments of referral fees and commission shares. Specifically, all payments of referral fees and shares of commission must comply with applicable law and are made by Exit. The funds for these payments are withheld from the commissions received by Exit.

This arrangement means that Exit sales representatives do not directly handle the distribution of referral fees or commission shares. Instead, Exit manages these payments centrally, ensuring compliance with legal requirements. This centralized system likely provides a level of oversight and standardization that can help prevent errors and maintain consistency in payment practices.

For a prospective Exit franchisee, this information indicates that the financial administration of referral fees and commission sharing is handled by the franchisor, Exit, rather than being the responsibility of individual sales representatives. This can reduce the administrative burden on sales representatives and ensure that payments are made in accordance with applicable laws and the company's policies.
