What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Ledgers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for covering their own travel and living expenses when attending additional training or seminars. Ledgers may choose to offer and require franchisees to attend further training, either in person or online.
This means that if Ledgers mandates attendance at additional training, franchisees will need to budget for transportation, accommodation, meals, and any other related costs. These expenses are in addition to any other fees or costs associated with running the franchise.
Prospective franchisees should consider the potential frequency and location of these additional trainings when evaluating the overall cost of investing in a Ledgers franchise. It would be prudent to inquire with Ledgers about the typical number of additional training sessions required per year and their locations to better estimate these potential expenses.
