Separate from the Brand Fund and opening campaign. Vendors are generally paid directly, but the franchisor may collect and spend the funds for you or require designated vendors. Advertising needs approval, and monthly expense records are required. Required joint marketing or cooperative contributions may be credited toward local spending or the Brand Fund at the franchisor's option.
