What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Ledgers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the issuance of notes receivable for franchise purchases deferred over the term of the underlying agreement was $35,000 in 2022. This indicates that Ledgers provided financing to franchisees, allowing them to defer payment for the franchise purchase over a period of time.
For a prospective franchisee, this suggests that financing options may be available directly from Ledgers to facilitate the initial franchise fee. However, it's important to note that this amount reflects the total issuance for all franchise purchases deferred during that year, not necessarily the amount available to any single franchisee.
It is important for a prospective franchisee to inquire about the terms and conditions of such financing, including interest rates, repayment schedules, and any collateral required. Understanding these details is crucial for assessing the overall financial feasibility of investing in a Ledgers franchise.
