What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Focus Cfo Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise fee cannot be financed, paid in installments, deferred, or deducted from future compensation payments. The franchise fee is a lump sum that consists of $17,000 to obtain the franchise and $18,000 for a one-time initial training fee, totaling $35,000.
Focus Cfo requires that the full franchise fee be paid before a franchisee can engage with Focus Cfo, use the Focus Cfo marks, or provide services to Focus Cfo clients. If the franchise fee is not paid in its entirety within three business days of signing the Franchise Agreement, the agreement is considered void.
This policy ensures that Focus Cfo receives the necessary capital upfront to provide initial training and support to new franchisees. It also protects Focus Cfo's brand and system by preventing franchisees from operating without proper training and full financial commitment. Prospective franchisees should be prepared to have the full franchise fee amount available upon signing the agreement.
