What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, initial training in the operation of the All Team agency is provided to the franchisee and any managers they designate. This training is mandatory for both the franchisee and their designated managers, and it must be completed to All Team's satisfaction before the agency opens. The initial training program takes place at All Team's principal office in Tampa, Florida, and lasts between 1 to 3 weeks, depending on the trainee's experience in the business.
While All Team does not charge a fee for the initial training program itself, franchisees are responsible for covering their own wages, travel, and living expenses, as well as those of their employees. This means that a prospective franchisee needs to factor in these costs when budgeting for the start-up phase of their All Team agency. The FDD also mentions that All Team may require previously trained franchisees or their managers to attend refresher training programs or seminars, for which a reasonable fee may be charged, along with the franchisee covering travel and living expenses.
All Team also provides ongoing support and assistance after the agency opens. At least one representative will assist in the opening and initial training for at least 5 days after the agency opens. Furthermore, a representative will provide additional assistance for a minimum of 3 days approximately 2 months after the agency opens. This ongoing support can be valuable for new franchisees as they navigate the initial challenges of running their All Team agency.
In addition to the initial and refresher training programs, All Team may also provide additional training to the franchisee or their managers for a reasonable fee. The franchisee is responsible for their own travel and living expenses associated with any such training. So long as the franchisee is not in default under the Franchise Agreement, All Team will at reasonable times train a reasonable number of new employees or their trainers at their corporate offices. However, the franchisee will pay all transportation, lodging, meals and other expenses incurred by them and their employees in obtaining such additional training.
