You will need to know the amount of that fee, or how it is figured (sometimes figured on a percentage of sales) and how much of that is used for local advertising and how much for national exposure.

    Royalty payments are payments to the franchisor for the use of the franchise name. These are usually figured as a percentage of weekly or monthly gross sales. Again this number can vary from franchise to franchise and should be well understood before proceeding.
