What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Exit's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Sponsoring Bonuses for Exit Associates are typically paid via electronic funds transfer to the Sponsor. This is the preferred method of payment. The Sponsoring Bonus is paid by Exit after the Company Development Fee designated for the same Recruit is received by Exit. If the funds are received electronically, the bonus is typically paid out within seven days.
However, if electronic funds transfer is not possible or the associate has not elected to receive the Sponsoring Bonus electronically, the bonus will be paid out within 30 days. Sponsoring Bonuses are calculated and paid out in the currency of the country in which the transaction is finalized.
It's important to note that Exit deducts a Sponsoring Bonus Fee of 10% of the Sponsoring Bonus per Transaction Side, with a maximum of $75 per Transaction Side, before disbursing the bonus. In the event of the death of the Sponsor, an additional administration fee of $35 will be deducted from each Sponsoring Bonus prior to disbursement.
