What This Means (2025 FDD)

Based on the 2025 All Team Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement does not define 'Business Day' or specify any geographic limitations regarding its definition. The FDD includes several definitions related to the All Team franchise operations, such as 'National/Regional Accounts,' 'Permanent Placement Business,' 'Temporary Service Business,' and other key terms relevant to the franchise agreement. However, it does not include a definition of 'Business Day'.

Since the term 'Business Day' is not defined within the franchise agreement, there is a potential ambiguity regarding deadlines, operational hours, and other time-sensitive aspects of the business. This could lead to misunderstandings or disputes between All Team and its franchisees if not clearly addressed.

A prospective All Team franchisee should seek clarification from the franchisor regarding the definition of 'Business Day' to ensure a clear understanding of obligations and deadlines. Specifically, they should ask whether 'Business Day' refers to local holidays, time zones, or any other geographic considerations that could impact operations.
