What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees servicing National/Regional Accounts must add both the National/Regional Account customer and All Team Franchise Corporation as additional insureds to their insurance policies. This requirement ensures that these parties are protected under the franchisee's insurance coverage for liabilities arising from the services provided to the National/Regional Account.
This requirement is in place when a franchisee is permitted to service a National/Regional Account. The franchisee is responsible for maintaining the insurance required by the National/Regional Account customer. Additionally, All Team, its affiliates, successors, and assignees must be named as additional insureds on all general liability insurance policies.
All Team also requires that they receive thirty days' written notice before any termination, expiration, or cancellation of the insurance policy. Each year, the franchisee must provide All Team with a certificate or other evidence of compliance with the insurance requirements. If a franchisee fails to maintain the required insurance, All Team has the right, but not the obligation, to procure insurance on the franchisee's behalf, with the franchisee responsible for reimbursing All Team for the costs. Additionally, the franchisee will be charged a penalty of $500 per month and prohibited from operating the agency until the required certificate of insurance is received by All Team.
