''Depending on the Franchise
Package size you choose, the Initial Franchise Fee ranges from $10,750 to
$32,200. If you pay this initial fee in cash or by credit card (Visa and
MasterCard are accepted), you will receive an 8% discount as described in Item 5.
In lieu of the cash discount, veterans qualify for a 10% veterans'' discount on
the Initial Franchise Fee. Veterans participating in the VetFran Program
described in Item 5 receive a 25% discount on the Initial Franchise Fee. In
order to assist credit-worthy franchisees in the purchase of the business, we
typically finance between $5,000 and $6,800. The financed amount is currently
evidenced by a Promissory Note and is payable over a 2 or 3 year period (at our
option) in equal monthly installments at 12% interest per annum on the unpaid
principal as described in Item 5. We reserve the right to change the terms,
interest rate, and amounts financed. (A copy of our Promissory Note appears in
this disclosure document as an attachment to Exhibit A. 1.) We reserve the
right to change the method by which we offer financing to franchisees so that
in lieu of our accepting franchisees'' promissory notes, we may offer
franchisees lines of credit and/or make available financing through third party
lenders upon terms and conditions to be determined by the third party lenders.
We reserve the right to sell, assign, or discount promissory notes to a third
party.
2The Initial Franchise Fee is uniform except as
described in Item 5.
3The Promissory Note must be
secured by all your business assets. The Promissory Note and Equipment Purchase
Agreement, if any, as well as all sums due under the Franchise Agreement must
be guaranteed individually by you, all of your partners, and/or shareholders.
(See Guaranty form)
4lf you do not pay on time, we
can charge a late penalty. In the case of nonpayment or other default under the
Promissory Note, or any financing provided by Coverall, or breach of the
Franchise Agreement or any other agreement with us, we can require immediate
payment of all amounts due, and/or terminate your franchise, and we can also
collect our attorneys'' fees and costs. (See Promissory Note.) Under the
Equipment Purchase Agreement, we can require immediate payment of all amounts
due and take back the equipment. (Equipment Purchase Agreement, Paragraphs 2
and 10)
5There is no waiver of legal
rights in any financing contract.
"The interest rate on
financed equipment purchases is 18% or the highest rate permitted by your
state, whichever is less, on the unpaid balance.
''Monthly payments are due on
the last calendar day of each month, beginning in the first month following the
month in which service of the account begins. (Franchise Agreement, Paragraph
7A) Under the Franchise Agreement, we deduct payments due us from funds paid by
janitorial customers for services and supplies. See Item 11 for a description
of our billing and collection services. (Franchise Agreement, Paragraph 6) With
the exception of equipment purchases, we do not presently make available
financing for franchisees with other sources, but we may in the future make
financing available to you through a third party lender upon terms and
conditions satisfactory to the third party lender.
8We usually finance up to 50% of
the sales and marketing fee for Additional Business offered to you by Coverall.
Additional Business requested by you must be paid for in full prior to Coverall
offering you the requested amount of Additional Business.
Visa and MasterCard credit
cards may be used to pay for the down payment or the financed portion of the
Initial Franchise Fee. These credit cards may also be used to pay for all or
any part of the down payment or the financed portion of the sales and marketing
fee for Additional Business. The interest rates on Visa and MasterCard vary
according to your vendor. You must check your card agreement to determine your
interest rate.
