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 pending

The 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 + GST
When: 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 + GST
When: On the contract date — covers onboarding + initial training; the deposit applies against itRefundable: Non-refundable (deposit applied)

Net payable on signing$5,000.00 + GST

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

Permanent

5%of the gross retail (incl GST) job value · on every job, for the life of the franchise

Charged 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.

2.0%AM commission = 40% of the royalty

Paid to the Area Manager. ≈ $0.77 per m² at the $35/m² ex-GST floor ($38.50 incl GST) — checkable in the field.

3%net to HQ after the AM share

The royalty splits between HQ and the Area Manager; both are paid on retail.

Worked on 168 m² @ $35/m² — $5,880.00 ex-GST → $6,468.00 incl GST (the fee base)

Royalty (5%): $323.40
AM commission (2.0%): $129.36
Net to HQ: $194.04
Deferred Purchase (5%): $323.40

Total up the line$646.80 (10% of retail)

Minimum monthly royalty5% or $500.00/mo · CPI-indexed

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 track

The deferred capital for the early 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 $20,200.00 now for $18,180.00. 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 items

Every 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.

For context

Not a fee to HQ.

Platform (TradeOS) — included in the royaltyNo separate fee
MandatoryLegal finding 2026-06-24 · franchise-legal-deploy-research.json
When: 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.
