Initial Franchise Fee Clause Examples
The Initial Franchise Fee clause defines the upfront payment that a franchisee must make to the franchisor as a condition of entering into the franchise agreement. This fee is typically paid in a lump sum before the franchisee is granted the right to operate under the franchisor’s brand and system, and it may cover costs such as initial training, site selection assistance, or the right to use proprietary materials. Its core practical function is to compensate the franchisor for granting access to its business model and intellectual property, while also ensuring the franchisee’s commitment to the venture.
