What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, prospective franchisees are asked to complete a Franchisee Disclosure Questionnaire to identify any unauthorized statements or promises made during the franchise sales process. This questionnaire specifically asks whether any employee or person representing All Team made promises regarding potential earnings, success likelihood, or the advertising, marketing, training, support, service, or assistance that contradicts the information provided in the FDD.

The questionnaire requires a 'yes' or 'no' response to these inquiries, ensuring that the franchisee acknowledges whether they received any information outside of the official FDD. By signing the questionnaire, the franchisee confirms the truthfulness of their responses, and All Team relies on this representation. This process aims to protect both the franchisee and All Team by ensuring that all information relied upon during the franchise purchase decision is accurate and authorized.

If an All Team franchisee has been made promises or statements not contained within Item 19 of the FDD or contradicting the FDD, they should disclose this information when completing the Franchisee Disclosure Questionnaire. This disclosure allows All Team to address any potential misrepresentations and ensures that the franchisee is making an informed decision based on accurate information. Failing to disclose such promises could weaken the franchisee's position should disputes arise later, as they have certified that they did not rely on any unauthorized information.
