What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are two types of accounts defined in the agreement: National/Regional Accounts and general accounts developed by the franchisee.
National/Regional Accounts are defined as Temporary Service Business and Permanent Placement Business accounts with more than one location covered by an agreement for services, whether written or oral, or based on past practices. These accounts are not located solely within one franchisee's area, as determined by All Team. All Team retains ownership of these National/Regional Accounts, even if the franchisee procures them. All Team manages and controls these accounts, including negotiating related agreements. Franchisees may need to share account information with other franchisees to service these accounts.
For a franchisee to service a National/Regional Account, they must maintain the required insurance, include the customer and All Team as additional insureds, adhere to the terms of the agreement between All Team and the customer, comply with audits, and sign required documents. Violations of these requirements can result in damages: $1,000 for the first violation, $2,500 for the second, and $5,000 for the third, potentially leading to the franchisee being barred from servicing National/Regional Accounts.
