What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise receipt includes a questionnaire where you must acknowledge your understanding of potential business disruptions. Specifically, question 13 addresses the impact of events outside of your or All Team's control.
The questionnaire asks if you understand that the All Team franchise business may be impacted by risks such as local, national, or global economic, political, or social disruption, referencing the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak as an example. It further asks for acknowledgement that such disruptions, and any governmental responses, may lead to business disruption, reduced customer demand, and reduced operations.
By answering 'Yes' to this question on the receipt, a prospective All Team franchisee acknowledges they understand these potential risks. This acknowledgement is part of a broader set of questions designed to ensure the franchisee is aware of various aspects of the franchise agreement and potential business challenges.
