Your territory
A base territory covers a population of up to 50,000. Between 50,000 and 75,000 there is a small additional fee (up to $10,000); above 75,000 it counts as two territories. In dense markets, 50,000 people can be a few blocks, so we map a sensible geographic unit and price it on its population. Some owners start with a zip code or two; others take half a county or more. We can also work backwards from your target investment to a territory that fits.
Commit to three or more contiguous territories at the same time and receive a $5,000 discount.
Active-duty and retired U.S. military receive a $2,500 rebate on royalties.
