What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fly Fitness's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial investment for a security system ranges from $0 to $2,140. This cost is expected to be paid to suppliers before opening the Fly Fitness franchise.
The FDD outlines that the security system costs are 'as required by suppliers,' meaning the actual cost can vary based on the chosen system and installation requirements. It's important for prospective franchisees to research and obtain quotes from multiple security system providers to understand the potential expenses involved.
Given the range from $0 to $2,140, it's possible that in some cases, a security system may not be deemed necessary, or the cost may be covered by other aspects of the initial investment, or potentially included in leasehold improvements. However, it is more likely that the $2,140 is the more realistic estimate. Franchisees should clarify with Fly Fitness what factors contribute to this variance and what specific security measures are required to ensure compliance with the franchise agreement and local regulations.
