What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 All Team Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees play a crucial role in maintaining the brand's image and goodwill. Franchisees must use approved forms, brochures, stationery, business cards, and advertising materials that meet All Team's standards for size, color, material, type style, layout, and quality. They are required to continuously and prominently display the All Team marks in connection with their agency and must avoid any action that could detract from the public image of All Team, its agencies, the systems, or the marks. Franchisees are also prohibited from displaying any unauthorized business names or services at their office. All Team retains the right to approve the decoration, organization, and furnishings of the franchisee's office and can require relocation and redecoration to maintain a professional image and prudent business practices.
To further protect the brand's image, All Team franchisees must maintain a safe, orderly, and clean office that presents a businesslike appearance. The office must be properly staffed, furnished, and equipped with approved computer equipment, telephone systems, and facsimile machines. Franchisees must maintain a dedicated telephone number for the business and use the All Team/ATS email system for all business communications. The office must be open for business during normal business hours in the community, but for no less than 35 hours each week, excluding holidays.
All Team franchisees are also responsible for recruiting, screening, interviewing, testing, training, and placing temporary employees and personnel for placement customers in accordance with All Team's standards and procedures, without any discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or age. These measures ensure that the franchisee's operations align with All Team's brand standards and contribute to the positive public perception of the brand. By adhering to these guidelines, franchisees help protect the goodwill and public acceptance of the All Team marks and system.
