What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the transfer fee covers the training for up to three representatives of the transferee. If the transferee requires training for additional representatives, Bambu reserves the right to charge its then-current rate for the extra training.
This means that if a franchisee decides to sell their Bambu franchise, the transfer fee paid by either the franchisee or the new owner includes the cost of training up to three individuals who will be managing or operating the franchise. This is a crucial aspect of ensuring a smooth transition and maintaining the brand's standards under new ownership.
It is important for prospective franchisees to factor in potential additional training costs if they anticipate needing more than three representatives trained during a transfer. Understanding these costs upfront can help in financial planning and negotiations during the sale of a franchise. The transfer fee is payable when the franchisee presents the written offer from the proposed transferee to Bambu.
