Who ultimately decides if an All Team franchisee can provide services for a National/Regional Account?
All_Team Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
If one or more locations of a National/Regional Account fall within your Area, we will first offer you the opportunity to provide such services on the terms and conditions that have been established with such National/Regional Account. You are not required to service a National/Regional Account and if you do not accept such offer in the manner and within the time period that we specify, we have the right to service the account ourselves, or may authorize other franchisees, licensees, or affiliate-owned agencies, to provide such services. Even if you fail to accept the job order to service a certain National/Regional Account, you may fill subsequent job orders once you have temporary staff or personnel candidates available. However, the decision to accept you as a provider of services for the National/Regional Account must ultimately rest with the National/Regional Account.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, while All Team franchisees may procure National/Regional Accounts, the ultimate decision to accept a franchisee as a service provider for these accounts rests with the National/Regional Account itself. All Team, or its affiliates, negotiate and manage these accounts, even if the franchisee initially brings the account to All Team.
If a National/Regional Account has locations within a franchisee's designated area, All Team will first offer the franchisee the opportunity to provide services under the terms established with the account. However, the franchisee is not obligated to accept this offer. If the franchisee declines or fails to respond within the specified timeframe, All Team reserves the right to service the account directly or authorize other franchisees, licensees, or affiliate-owned agencies to do so.
Even if an All Team franchisee initially declines a job order from a National/Regional Account, they may still be considered for subsequent job orders if they have available staff or personnel. However, the final determination on whether to utilize the franchisee's services lies with the National/Regional Account, ensuring that the account's needs and preferences are prioritized.
