How does Expense Reduction Analysts determine the fee charged for general management and administrative services?

According to the 2025 Expense Reduction Analysts Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor may provide general management and administrative services to franchisees. However, Expense Reduction Analysts is not obligated to provide these services. If Expense Reduction Analysts does provide these services, it reserves the right to charge a fee.

The fee for these services is based on Expense Reduction Analysts' current standard hourly rates. This means the cost can vary depending on the time spent and the specific rate in effect at that time.

It's important to note that these fees may be charged in specific situations: (1) at the franchisee's request, (2) as part of a curative action the franchisee must take to correct a default, and/or (3) if the services are provided within the franchisee's designated area. However, Expense Reduction Analysts will not charge a fee if such services are being provided remotely or for meetings that the franchisee is required to attend at the franchisor's support centers. Prospective franchisees should clarify the current standard hourly rates and under what specific circumstances these services are typically required to better understand potential costs.
