What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Insurance Premiums fee will vary based on three factors: the franchisee's location, the policy limits, and the insurer. This fee is incurred if the franchisee fails to pay their insurance premiums, and Bambu elects to pay them on the franchisee's behalf.
In practical terms, this means a Bambu franchisee in a high-risk location, requiring high policy limits, and/or using a more expensive insurer will face higher insurance premium costs. The franchisee is responsible for reimbursing Bambu for any insurance premiums paid by Bambu on their behalf.
It is important for prospective franchisees to obtain insurance quotes early in the process to understand the potential costs in their specific location. They should also discuss insurance requirements and options with Bambu to ensure they are meeting the franchisor's standards while also securing the most cost-effective coverage. Understanding these factors will help franchisees budget accurately and avoid unexpected expenses.
