All_Team Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
You are required to work diligently to open for business in a timely manner. We estimate the length of time between execution of the Franchise Agreement and the opening of your Agency to be approximately 2 to 4 months. Factors affecting this length of time include the obtaining of a satisfactory place to conduct your Agency, financing arrangements, local ordinance, licensing, permits and compliance requirements, improvement of the place of your Agency, delivery and installation of equipment, and hiring and training of employees. You must begin operation of the Agency and open the office within 4 months after the Franchise Agreement is signed. Both the Temporary Services Business and the Permanent Placement Business will be operated out of the same office. If you fail to find a site and open the Agency within 4 months of signing the Franchise Agreement, we have the right to terminate the Franchise Agreement and you will forfeit the Initial Franchise Fee.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to work diligently to open their agency for business in a timely manner. All Team estimates that the time between signing the Franchise Agreement and opening the agency is approximately 2 to 4 months.
Several factors can affect this timeframe, including securing a suitable location for the agency, arranging financing, complying with local ordinances, obtaining necessary licenses and permits, improving the agency's location, installing equipment, and hiring and training employees.
All Team requires franchisees to begin operating the agency and open the office within 4 months after signing the Franchise Agreement. Both the Temporary Services Business and the Permanent Placement Business must operate from the same office. Failure to find a site and open the agency within this 4-month period gives All Team the right to terminate the Franchise Agreement, resulting in the franchisee forfeiting the initial franchise fee.
