The System is identified by trade names, service marks, trademarks, logos, emblems, and indicia of origin for use in connection with the System, as further described in Item 13 (“Proprietary Marks”). If we offer a franchise to you (we will refer to the franchisee as “you”), you will sign the Independent Financial Advisor Business Franchise Agreement (the “Franchise Agreement” attached to this Disclosure Document as Exhibit A) which will grant you the right to establish and operate an independent financial advisor business using our System and the Proprietary Marks (the “Independent Financial Advisor Business”). To promote the highest standards of operation under the System, we have prepared Confidential Operations and Compliance Manuals (the “Manuals”), to which you will be granted access by a method selected by us, and which include, but are not limited to, manuals, bulletins and other written policies and procedures setting forth the minimum standards for the Independent Financial Advisor Business, including Client Satisfaction, Compliance and the Code of Conduct. In addition, the Manuals set forth standards regarding the use of Proprietary Marks, signage, communications, privacy principles, processing procedures and the Compensation Reference Guide. As our franchisee you would be an Independent Advisor and you would offer the Products & Services to clients. The Products & Services that Independent Financial Advisor Businesses offer include (i) investment certificates, stock, other securities, financial products, investments, life insurance and annuity policies, contracts and other insurance products, and other products, and (ii) financial planning, advisory, securities brokerage or other financial services.

Summary of Investment Costs
Upfront Franchise Fees
Minimum: $1,500 Maximum: $6,500
Upfront franchise fees are the one-time payments required to secure rights to operate under an established brand, typically ranging from $20,000 to $100,000+ depending on brand value.
These fees grant access to proprietary business systems, training programs, intellectual property rights, and often territorial exclusivity—essentially purchasing the blueprint for a proven business model.
While separate from ongoing royalties, investors should evaluate these fees against expected returns, comparing fee-to-earnings ratios across opportunities and assessing how effectively franchisors reinvest these funds into system improvements.
Total Investment Costs
Minimum: $12,099 Maximum: $130,363
Ongoing Fees
Ongoing franchise fees, typically structured as royalties ranging from 4-8% of gross sales, represent the continuous payments franchisees make to maintain brand affiliation and support services.
These recurring fees fund the franchisor's operational assistance, marketing initiatives, technology updates, and continued brand development—creating a partnership where the franchisor's revenue grows alongside the franchisee's success. In addition to royalties, franchisees often contribute to national advertising funds (usually 1-3% of sales) and may incur technology fees, supply chain markups, or renewal fees depending on the franchise agreement.
Investors should carefully analyze these ongoing costs within their financial projections, as they directly impact profit margins and cash flow throughout the entire franchise relationship.
