What is a Ledgers franchisee's obligation if Ledgers incurs third-party charges on their behalf?

According to Ledgers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Ledgers incurs charges from a third party on behalf of a franchisee, the franchisee is responsible for reimbursing Ledgers for the full amount of those charges.

This means that if Ledgers pays for services or goods from another company that directly benefit the franchisee's business, the franchisee must pay Ledgers back. This could include things like marketing materials, specialized software, or other services Ledgers arranges for the franchisee.

It is important for prospective Ledgers franchisees to understand this obligation and factor it into their budget. Franchisees should maintain open communication with Ledgers to understand what third-party charges are being incurred on their behalf and to ensure they are comfortable with those expenses. This reimbursement should occur in a timely manner to avoid any potential issues with Ledgers.
