All_Team Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
You are required to work diligently to open for business in a timely manner. We estimate the length of time between execution of the Franchise Agreement and the opening of your Agency to be approximately 2 to 4 months. Factors affecting this length of time include the obtaining of a satisfactory place to conduct your Agency, financing arrangements, local ordinance, licensing, permits and compliance requirements, improvement of the place of your Agency, delivery and installation of equipment, and hiring and training of employees. You must begin operation of the Agency and open the office within 4 months after the Franchise Agreement is signed. Both the Temporary Services Business and the Permanent Placement Business will be operated out of the same office. If you fail to find a site and open the Agency within 4 months of signing the Franchise Agreement, we have the right to terminate the Franchise Agreement and you will forfeit the Initial Franchise Fee.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated time between signing the Franchise Agreement and opening an All Team agency is approximately 2 to 4 months. However, this timeframe can be influenced by several factors. Securing a suitable location for the agency is a key element, as is arranging the necessary financing. Local ordinances, licensing, permits, and compliance requirements can also impact the opening timeline.
Furthermore, the time required for improvements to the agency's location, along with the delivery and installation of equipment, can either accelerate or delay the opening. The hiring and training of employees also plays a significant role in determining when the agency can commence operations.
All Team requires franchisees to open their agency within 4 months of signing the Franchise Agreement. Failure to do so can result in the termination of the agreement and forfeiture of the initial franchise fee. This underscores the importance of carefully planning and managing all aspects of the opening process to ensure timely compliance with All Team's requirements.
