What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to supply information to All Team regarding National/Regional Accounts. Specifically, if a franchisee develops an account that may qualify as a National/Regional Account for service outside of the franchisee's designated area, the franchisee must refer that account to All Team.
All Team retains the right to either accept or reject the account at its discretion. If the account is accepted as a National/Regional Account, it becomes the property of All Team, and All Team manages all negotiations, agreements, and control of the account, even if the franchisee initially procured it.
The FDD states that any information supplied to All Team by a franchisee regarding National/Regional Accounts, along with any supplemental information requested by All Team, may be shared with other franchisees who may be required to service these accounts. The franchisee agrees that sharing this account information with other franchisees is beneficial for the All Team system as a whole, enhancing opportunities for everyone within the system.
