What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fly Fitness's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, payments for business licenses and permits are due before opening the franchise, as required by government agencies. The estimated cost for these licenses and permits ranges from $214 to $535. These fees are paid to the relevant government agencies. It is important to note that the costs of permits and licenses can vary by location, and the FDD advises prospective franchisees to contact their local governing agency for specific information.
This means that a Fly Fitness franchisee must budget for these expenses as part of their initial investment and ensure that all necessary licenses and permits are obtained and paid for before commencing operations. Failure to secure these licenses and permits could result in delays in opening the franchise or potential legal issues.
Franchisees should contact their local government agencies to determine the specific licenses and permits required for their Fly Fitness location and the associated costs. This proactive approach will help ensure compliance with local regulations and avoid any unexpected expenses or delays.
