What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the payment schedule for the Marketing Contribution can be altered at Face Foundrie's discretion. The standard payment requires franchisees to pay the Marketing Contribution, which is 3% of Gross Sales per month, no later than the 5th day of the month for the previous month's Gross Sales.
However, Face Foundrie retains the right to modify this payment schedule. This means that Face Foundrie could potentially require franchisees to make payments more frequently, such as weekly or bi-weekly, or on a different day of the month.
This flexibility allows Face Foundrie to adjust its financial operations as needed, but it also introduces a degree of uncertainty for franchisees. Franchisees should be prepared for the possibility of changes to the payment schedule and factor this potential variability into their financial planning. It is important to maintain open communication with Face Foundrie to stay informed of any upcoming changes to the payment schedule and to understand the reasons behind them.
