According to Focus Cfo's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there have been limited instances where Focus Cfo has decreased the franchise fee. These instances occurred when Focus Cfo was concentrating on significantly expanding its geographic footprint.
While Focus Cfo intends to apply the franchise fee uniformly to all franchisees, the document indicates that similar discounts may be offered in the future. This suggests that the possibility of a reduced franchise fee is not entirely off the table, although it is not guaranteed.
