What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the grant of the franchise is detailed in Section A of the franchise agreement. This section outlines that All Team grants the franchisee the right and license to use their systems and marks for operating one agency within a specific area, as defined in Exhibit I.
All Team agrees not to operate or franchise any other entity within the franchisee's designated area during the agreement's term, provided the franchisee remains in compliance with the agreement. The franchisee is responsible for selecting the agency's office site, but this selection requires All Team's prior written consent.
Furthermore, franchisees cannot open, close, or relocate any office without All Team's written consent. However, All Team retains the right to require the franchisee to open additional offices within the designated area if they deem the area too large to be serviced by a single office. The number and timing of these additional offices, if required, will be specified in Exhibit I.
