What are the types of franchise fees that I can charge for?
We get a lot of questions about how to run your franchise and at FranchisingWA we make it our goal to assist you in developing your system.
Generally, there are three types of fees:
- Initial Franchisee Fee – where in the new Franchisee pays a sum to the Franchisor. This fee can be anywhere from $5,000 – $75,000 and is usually used by the Franchisor to assist you in setting up your business.
- Ongoing Franchisee Fee or Royalty Payment – this is usually in the form of either a percentage of sales or as a fixed amount. Chargeable either weekly or monthly and normally in arrears.
- Marketing Fee or Levy – this is where the Franchisee pays into a separate account held by the Franchisor for Marketing Activities. This is usually in the form of either a percentage of sales or as a fixed amount. Chargeable either weekly or monthly and normally in arrears.
