What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, insurance premiums are due as incurred. This means that the franchisee is responsible for paying the insurance premiums when they become due according to the terms of their insurance policy. The amount of the insurance premiums will vary depending on the franchisee's location, the policy limits, and the insurer they choose.
It's important to note that while the franchisee is primarily responsible for paying their insurance premiums, Bambu has the option to pay the premiums if the franchisee fails to do so. If Bambu pays the franchisee's insurance premiums, the franchisee is then obligated to reimburse Bambu for the amount paid. This protects Bambu from potential liabilities arising from the franchisee's operations.
Prospective franchisees should carefully consider the costs associated with insurance premiums, as they can vary significantly based on several factors. It is advisable to obtain quotes from multiple insurance providers to ensure they are getting the best possible rates and coverage for their Bambu franchise.
