When must a Bang Cookies franchisee complete training, purchase, and license the Business Management System?

According to Bang Cookies's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must complete training, purchase, and license the Business Management Systems no later than 45 days prior to the earlier of the Actual Business Commencement Date or the Scheduled Business Commencement Date.

This means that a new Bang Cookies franchisee needs to be fully trained and have the Business Management System in place well in advance of opening their doors. The "Actual Business Commencement Date" refers to the day the franchisee actually starts operating their Bang Cookies shop. The "Scheduled Business Commencement Date" is the date the franchisee is expected to start operations, regardless of whether they actually do.

Therefore, the franchisee must adhere to the earlier of these two dates when ensuring the Business Management System is operational. This requirement ensures that the franchisee is prepared to manage the business effectively from day one, using the systems and processes mandated by Bang Cookies. Failing to meet this deadline could delay the store opening or result in non-compliance with the franchise agreement.
