For a franchisee there is no separate software fee — the platform cost is recovered inside the royalty + the $500 minimum (legal finding 2026-06-24). See the Fee schedule tab. Any $/mo above is a legacy SaaS plan line, not a charge on top of the royalty.
One-off onboarding
Deposit paidThe set-up payable once at the start. The deposit is the gate: the Franchising Code’s 14-day disclosure period must elapse and the agreement be signed before this non-refundable money is taken, then the deposit unlocks training / on-site.
- Franchise deposit (the gate)$5,000.00 + GSTWhen: After the 14-day disclosure period + on signing — the gate before training / on-siteRefundable: Refundable until signing; then applied against the onboarding fee
- Onboarding / training fee$10,000.00 + GSTWhen: On the contract date — covers onboarding + initial training; the deposit applies against itRefundable: Non-refundable (deposit applied)
The $5,000.00 deposit applies against the $10,000.00 onboarding fee, so only $5,000.00 extra is due on signing. Exact figures/clauses come from Peter’s franchise docs — the onboarding fee is a placeholder pending the lawyer.
Franchise Service Fee
PermanentCharged on the retail value of every job — cellulose, polyester, or product bought elsewhere — so a job earns its royalty no matter where the product came from. This is the ongoing royalty, not the Deferred Franchise Purchase below.
- Royalty (5%)
- $323.40
- AM commission (2.0%)
- $129.36
- Net to HQ
- $194.04
- Deferred Purchase (5%)
- $323.40
The royalty for a month is the greater of 5% of that month’s gross or $500.00, indexed to inflation. It’s a monthly floor, not a per-job charge — payable whether or not they trade, so a quiet month still keeps the territory locked. The floor only bites below $10,000.00 of gross a month; above that the 5% royalty already exceeds it.
Basis = gross retail INCL GST (the customer-paid total). A size/cash discount is a pre-GST line that lowers the paid total, never a GST exemption. Source: 04-Schedules-and-Fee-Annexures-FINAL §A (lawyer-gated, unsigned).
Deferred Franchise Purchase
On trackThe deferred capital for the mature territory they bought — not a fee. Charged at 5% of gross retail (incl GST) while they pay it off, up to 5 years; full balance due at the date if not sooner. Once the entry price is recovered it ceases.

A 10% discount applies to the remaining balance only. Clear $38,600.00 now for $34,740.00. The deposit applied to training on signing is separate.
Basis: a % of gross retail (incl GST), so every job — cellulose, poly or third-party — keeps paying down the entry price until it’s cleared.
Mock — this just shows what their owe and what a payment would do. Nothing moves money.
Additional fees & schedule
12 itemsEvery fee beyond the royalty and the Deferred Purchase — set once, straight from Schedule §A. Each shows the amount, when it’s due, whether it’s mandatory, and whether it’s refundable.
One-off to HQ
Paid once, at the start.- Franchise deposit (the gate)pending$5,000 (excl GST)Mandatory§A item 6 / DD 14.2, 14.5When: Secures your right to negotiate; held until you sign — the gate before training / on-siteRefundable: Repaid in full if you don't proceed; if you sign, it's applied against the onboarding/training fee
What it does: holds the territory while you do your due diligence (and the Franchising Code's 14-day disclosure period elapses). Held in HQ's account; applied to the onboarding/training fee on signing, or repaid in full if you decide not to proceed. The $ is a working figure — the docs set the mechanism, not a fixed amount (lawyer to set).
- Documentation fee$3,500 + GSTMandatory§A item 16 / DD 14.5When: When you instruct HQ to prepare the agreement in the form to be executedRefundable: Non-refundable (a Retainable Reasonable Expense)
What it covers: HQ's cost of preparing, negotiating and executing the franchise documents (the franchisor's lawyers drafting the agreement) — capped at this fixed amount. It is NOT your own legal advice: you should engage your own solicitor to review the documents before you sign.
- Onboarding / training feepending≈ $10,000 + GSTMandatory§A item 6 / DD 14.5When: On the contract date (cohorts 4+). The deposit applies against this.Refundable: Non-refundable (deposit applied)
What it covers: onboarding + your initial training (≈ 1 day on-site + 2 days theory/practical at the Tiaro factory — to confirm against the Ops Manual). EXCLUDES franchisor travel/accommodation, which is charged separately (see Initial-training travel below). Founder cohort may be waived/included — to confirm. Exact figure pending the lawyer.
- Security retention amount$10,000 (excl GST)Mandatory§A item 20 / DD 14.5When: At HQ discretion on the contract date or at the end of the agreementRefundable: Held, then refunded ≤12 months after the business ends/transfers
Ongoing
Recurring while you trade.- Local marketing expenditure$1,000/mo (excl GST)Mandatory§A item 21 / DD 14.5When: Monthly — spent by the franchisee on its OWN local marketingRefundable: Not a fee to HQ — own spend
Paid to the marketing provider, NOT to HQ. There is no pooled marketing fund.
Only if it happens
Charged only when triggered.- Additional / extra training$750 + GST per dayOptional§A item 17 / DD 14.5When: Prior to the provision of additional/re-training, on requestRefundable: Non-refundable
Plus estimated travel/accommodation. Elect the days below.

- Transfer fee (on sale)Greater of $25,000 + GST or 10% of the sale priceConditional§A item 18 / DD 14.5When: On the settlement date of a sale of the franchised businessRefundable: Non-refundable
The outstanding Deferred-Purchase balance is INHERITED by the approved buyer, not accelerated.
- Lost-bag replacement$5 per bag not returnedConditional§A item 10 / DD 14.5When: When a returnable bag is not returned to HQ for re-useRefundable: n/a
- Default interest + dishonour feeRBA cash rate + 2% p.a. + $7 dishonourConditional§A item 22 (cl 9, cl 71/72)When: Interest on overdue amounts (calculated daily); $7 each time a direct-debit failsRefundable: n/a
The Default Rate of Interest = the RBA cash rate target + 2% per annum, calculated daily on overdue amounts — the conventional, non-penalty commercial form (a modest margin confined to amounts that are due but unpaid). Only applies if you fall behind.
- Renewal feeNilOptional§A item 19 / DD 14.5When: On renewal of the agreementRefundable: n/a
Renewal costs nothing.
For context
Not a fee to HQ.- Platform (TradeOS) — included in the royaltyNo separate feeMandatoryLegal finding 2026-06-24 · franchise-legal-deploy-research.jsonWhen: Always available while the franchise is on footRefundable: n/a — not a separate charge
Use of TradeOS is an operations-manual quality standard, NOT a cancellable subscription. Its cost is recovered inside the 10% royalty + the $500 minimum royalty — so a missed payment is royalty arrears (handled the Code way: notice → cure period), never an automatic lights-out. Removes the de-facto-termination trap.
Plus estimated travel/accommodation if the trainer must come to you. Mock — books a charge intent.
Pays down the capital without clearing it in full. To clear the lot at the 10% discount, use the early-payout button above. Or pay the entry price up front for a 5% early-payment discount (§A item 5). Mock.
Items marked pending are awaiting the lawyer/volume figure — no final number is implied. There is no periodic site-inspection or audit fee. Renewal is nil. Nothing here is a revenue or income promise.

Cellulose carries its catch-weight kg; poly is per pack. Installed bags link to the job/site they went into and to the public scan. Site shows suburb only — the customer’s name stays on their own record.
↗ External (approved) stock traces to the install house exactly like our own — chain-of-custody and warranty scoping keep working. Royalty treatment of external stock is pending Peter’s Option-B decision — the fee model is unchanged here.
