What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must use All Team as the sole approved supplier for payroll and billing processing services, payroll funding, and sublicensing the required software. This compliance is a material condition of the franchise agreement.
If All Team or its affiliates cannot provide these services, All Team may designate an alternative approved supplier, providing written notice to the franchisee. This ensures business continuity while maintaining All Team's control over essential operational aspects.
This requirement ensures consistency and quality control across all All Team franchises in critical areas like payroll and billing. While it limits the franchisee's choice of vendors, it also provides a potentially streamlined and integrated system. Prospective franchisees should evaluate the costs and benefits of this mandated supplier relationship, and inquire about the process and criteria All Team uses to select and approve alternate suppliers if they cannot directly provide the services.
