What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee or its principal owner must actively participate in the direct operation of the agency. They are required to dedicate substantially all of their business time and efforts to the agency's direct operation.
If the franchisee is a partnership, LLC, or corporation, they must designate an operating partner, member, or shareholder. This designated individual must successfully complete the initial training program and devote their full working time and best efforts to the agency's day-to-day operations. They must also remain free from conflicting enterprises or activities that could harm or interfere with the All Team agency's business. This designated person needs to have general management power and the authority to legally bind the franchisee.
All Team requires franchisees to keep them informed about the identity of the agency's manager at all times. Franchisees must also ensure that they and their employees who participate in the operation, marketing, or management of the agency attend and complete all training provided by All Team.
