All_Team Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
The Franchise Agreement states that you are to provide all the services required by us. However, as explained in Item 1 above, you may begin operating your Agency by providing Temporary Service Business. You will have 4 months after you sign the Franchise Agreement until you must be providing the Placement Service Business. Furthermore, you are prohibited from offering or selling any services or any products not authorized by us. We reserve the right to change the types of services and products which you will be required to offer. There are no limits on our right to do so.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, All Team has the right to change the types of services and products that franchisees are required to offer. The FDD states explicitly that there are no limits on All Team's right to make these changes. This means All Team can modify the required services as often as they deem necessary.
This policy gives All Team considerable flexibility to adapt to market changes, technological advancements, or evolving customer needs. However, it also introduces a degree of uncertainty for franchisees. Franchisees must be prepared to adjust their service offerings and potentially invest in new resources or training to comply with All Team's evolving requirements.
While All Team has the right to change required services, other sections of the FDD provide some context that may constrain this right. For example, All Team agrees to impose requirements and changes in a reasonable, non-discriminatory manner among other franchisees. Additionally, changes to software or systems may require franchisees to upgrade their computer systems and incur costs, which All Team must also implement reasonably. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider the potential impact of frequent changes and discuss with All Team how they plan to manage these changes to minimize disruption and costs for franchisees.
