What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise receipt includes an acknowledgement that various disruptions can impact the business. Specifically, question 13 on the receipt asks if the applicant understands that the business may be impacted by risks outside of their control, such as economic, political, or social disruptions.
The receipt explicitly mentions the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak as an example of such a disruption. It further states that preventative, protective, or remedial actions taken by governments in response to a disruption may result in business disruption, reduced customer demand, and reduced operations.
By answering "Yes" to this question on the receipt, a prospective All Team franchisee acknowledges that they understand these potential risks and their possible impact on the business. This acknowledgement is part of a broader set of representations the franchisee makes when signing the receipt, confirming they have reviewed the FDD and understand the risks involved in operating an All Team franchise.
