What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Exit's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, an Exit franchise can be designated as the sponsor for a recruit. However, the document specifies that this designation is primarily for awards recognition purposes. In such cases, the Exit Franchise acting as the sponsor must identify the individual(s) within the franchise responsible for introducing the recruit.

While the Exit franchise can be named as the sponsor, the sponsoring bonuses are generally payable to an individual sponsor. The exception to this is if the individual sponsor directs that their sponsoring bonuses be paid to someone else.

This distinction is important for prospective franchisees to understand, as it clarifies that while the franchise can receive recognition for recruitment efforts, the financial benefits typically accrue to the individual(s) responsible for bringing in new sales representatives, unless otherwise directed. This policy likely aims to incentivize individual efforts within the Exit system while still allowing franchises to be acknowledged for their overall contribution to recruitment.
