What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Ledgers's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the payment for rent and security deposit is made to the Landlord. The estimated cost for rent and security deposit ranges from $0 to $6,000, payable by check before opening the business.
Ledgers does not require franchisees to operate from a commercial location. However, if a franchisee chooses to obtain a commercial space, the amount of rent will vary depending on the market area. The estimate includes rent for the first three months plus a security deposit for one month's rent, with an estimated space of approximately 400 square feet.
Prospective franchisees should consider the variability in rental costs depending on their chosen location. The FDD provides an estimate, but actual costs may differ significantly based on local market conditions. It is important to research commercial rental rates in the target area to refine this estimate and plan accordingly.
