What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fly To Fit's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may be required to use designated third-party vendors and suppliers. While currently there are none, Fly To Fit retains the right to mandate the use of such vendors.
Examples of third-party vendors that Fly To Fit franchisees may be required to use include computer support vendors, mystery shopping services, and customer feedback systems. The costs associated with these vendors will be passed through to the franchisee, potentially with a reasonable administrative charge added by Fly To Fit.
The franchisee may be billed directly by the vendors, or Fly To Fit may collect payment for these vendors, including a markup or charge for administering the payment program. This means that franchisees need to be prepared for potential additional expenses related to these third-party services, and should clarify with Fly To Fit how these vendors are selected and what criteria are used.
