What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Expense Reduction Analysts' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are generally responsible for the costs and expenses associated with attending additional training. While Expense Reduction Analysts will not require franchisees to pay a training fee for additional training that they mandate, or for remote/online services or meetings at the support center, the franchisee must cover the costs and expenses for themselves and their personnel to attend.
However, if a franchisee requests additional on-site training, they are responsible for paying Expense Reduction Analysts the applicable training fee for each trainer provided, as well as covering the costs and expenses incurred by the personnel providing the training. This fee structure incentivizes franchisees to utilize standard training programs while still allowing for customized support at an additional cost.
In the case of remedial training, Expense Reduction Analysts reserves the right to charge its applicable training fee and requires the franchisee to cover all costs and expenses incurred by Expense Reduction Analysts and its personnel in providing such remedial training. This applies if the franchisee or their personnel fail to complete the foundational training program or any required additional training, or if they fail to operate the business according to the agreement after receiving written notice. Therefore, it is crucial for franchisees to ensure they and their personnel fully complete all required training and adhere to the operational standards to avoid these additional costs.
