What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to pay a Marketing Contribution, which is 3% of Gross Sales per month. This payment must be made no later than the 5th day of the month for the previous month's Gross Sales. However, Face Foundrie retains the discretion to establish a different payment schedule.
This means that a Face Foundrie franchisee must calculate their Gross Sales for a given month and remit 3% of that amount to Face Foundrie by the 5th of the following month, unless Face Foundrie specifies an alternative payment schedule. It is important for prospective franchisees to be aware of this ongoing monthly obligation, as it directly impacts their cash flow and profitability.
Franchisees should confirm with Face Foundrie whether the payment schedule is consistently the 5th of the month or if there are circumstances where it might vary. Understanding the consistency and potential changes to this schedule is crucial for financial planning and budgeting. This contribution is used for the System Marketing Fund, which supports brand development and marketing initiatives for the benefit of all Face Foundrie locations.
