For multi-location businesses, processing fees are a multiplier problem. Each location adds another $10,000–$30,000+ in annual processing costs. At 5 locations, you're paying $50,000–$150,000/year. At 20 locations, it's $200,000–$600,000.
The Multiplier Effect
| Locations | Monthly Card Volume/Location | Annual Processing (2.8%) |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | $50,000 | $50,400 |
| 5 | $50,000 | $84,000 |
| 10 | $50,000 | $168,000 |
| 20 | $50,000 | $336,000 |
| 50 | $50,000 | $840,000 |
The Fragmentation Problem
Multi-location businesses often end up with different processors, different rates, and different contract terms at each location — especially if locations were added through acquisition.
