According to Ledgers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Ledgers incurs third-party charges 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 expenses from another company that directly benefit the franchisee's business, the franchisee must pay Ledgers back.

This could include a variety of expenses, such as marketing costs, software subscriptions, or other services Ledgers might arrange for its franchisees. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand that these costs are in addition to the standard franchise fees and ongoing royalties.

Franchisees should clarify with Ledgers what types of third-party charges are typically incurred and how these charges are communicated and documented. Understanding the potential scope and frequency of these reimbursements is crucial for budgeting and financial planning as a Ledgers franchisee.
