What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Learningrx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the standard transfer fee for a Learningrx franchise is $10,000. However, this fee is not required if the transfer is to a corporation where the franchisee is the majority stockholder, or to the franchisee's child, parent, sibling, or spouse, provided the franchisor approves the transfer. If the transfer is to another Learningrx franchisee, the transfer fee is reduced to $5,000.
This transfer fee covers the initial training at Learningrx's office, onsite training, advanced consultation training onsite/grand opening, and legal fees. The document specifies that the transfer fee is earned fully upon payment and is non-refundable under any circumstances.
For a prospective Learningrx franchisee, understanding the transfer fee structure is crucial. If they plan to sell their franchise in the future, the standard $10,000 fee will likely apply unless the buyer is another existing franchisee or a close family member. This fee can impact the overall profitability of selling the franchise, so it's important to factor it into any financial projections.
