GFA Fees and Investment Requirements GFA uses a standard international franchise fee structure by charging an upfront franchise fee based on the number of stores a franchisee is considering opening, monthly royalty payments equal to a percentage of net sales, and marketing fees as a percentage of sales that are either managed by the franchisee or by the corporate office for countries where GFA has a corporate presence.
Franchise fees: The franchise fee is a one time payment made by the franchisee when the franchise is granted. The initial franchise fee covers the cost of approving a location, designing the store, supporting with supply chain management and import requirements, and training the management of the franchisee.
Royalty fees: Royalty fees, a percentage of net monthly sales, are paid monthly by the Franchisee during the entire term of the agreement.
Marketing fees: Marketing fees are used to market and advertise the franchise system. An advertising fee is based upon a percentage of net sales. Under a Master Franchise agreement the Franchisee is responsible for managing the national advertising fund.
