According to the 2025 Expense Reduction Analysts FDD, the standard initial franchise fee is $69,900. This fee is payable in U.S. funds when the Franchise Agreement is signed. It is generally non-refundable. However, Expense Reduction Analysts offers a discount of $5,000 off the initial franchise fee for qualified veterans through the VetFran® initiative.
In addition to the initial franchise fee, Expense Reduction Analysts charges an initial training and coaching fee of $10,000 for each additional or substitute owner or signing partner.

Franchisees should confirm their eligibility for the VetFran® discount if applicable. Understanding the costs associated with additional training for partners or family members is also important for budgeting purposes.
