What This Means (2023 FDD)
The 2023 Franchise Disclosure Document for Advanced Mobile Iv And Amiv does not explicitly state who bears the cost for testing samples from a proposed supplier. However, it does state that Advanced Mobile Iv And Amiv or its agents may inspect a proposed supplier's facilities and products to ensure they meet the brand's standards.
Advanced Mobile Iv And Amiv reserves the right to designate exclusive suppliers to maintain quality and uniformity. While franchisees can propose suppliers, Advanced Mobile Iv And Amiv must approve them, and can inspect their facilities to ensure compliance with standards. The FDD also mentions that Advanced Mobile Iv And Amiv may require a Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement signed by the proposed supplier before releasing any confidential information.
Because the FDD does not specify who pays for the testing of proposed suppliers, prospective Advanced Mobile Iv And Amiv franchisees should ask the franchisor directly about the costs associated with supplier approval, including who is responsible for covering testing and inspection fees. This will help clarify the financial responsibilities involved in sourcing products and supplies.
