Item 6 (Other Fees)

Item 6 of the Franchise Disclosure Document discloses all ongoing fees beyond the initial franchise fee and royalty, including technology fees, advertising fund contributions, training fees, audit fees, transfer fees, renewal fees, and any other required payments. Item 6 is critical because many prospective franchisees focus on the royalty rate but underestimate cumulative additional fees, which can add 2-5% or more to the effective operating cost of a franchise.
