What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchisee Disclosure Questionnaire includes an acknowledgement that the business may be impacted by events outside of the franchisee's or franchisor's control. Question 13 specifically addresses potential disruptions and government responses.
Specifically, the questionnaire asks franchisees to confirm their understanding that the All Team franchise business may be impacted by risks including those outside of their control. These risks include local, national, or global economic, political, or social disruptions, such as the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak.
The questionnaire further clarifies that preventative, protective, or remedial actions that federal, state, and local governments may take in response to a disruption may result in a period of business disruption, reduced customer demand, and reduced operations for the All Team franchise. By answering "Yes" to question 13, the franchisee acknowledges they understand these potential impacts.
