Establishing Prices. We do not establish prices at which the franchisee must sell its products and services. We may make pricing recommendations based on industry wide standards and the going

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Ledgers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Ledgers does not establish the prices at which franchisees must sell their products and services. However, Ledgers may provide pricing recommendations based on industry-wide standards and the prevailing rates in the specific market. These recommendations may be included as part of the initial and ongoing training programs, as well as in the Operations Manual.
While Ledgers can offer pricing guidance, the FDD emphasizes that each franchisee is ultimately responsible for setting their own prices. This means that franchisees have the autonomy to determine their pricing strategies based on their local market conditions, business costs, and desired profit margins.
This flexibility allows Ledgers franchisees to adapt to their specific competitive landscape and customer base. However, it also means that franchisees must conduct their own market research and analysis to determine optimal pricing strategies. The pricing recommendations provided by Ledgers are intended for training and educational purposes, but franchisees should not rely solely on this information when making pricing decisions.
