Where must a Belocal franchisee purchase business cards?

According to Belocal's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to purchase business cards from a designated third-party provider. This means that a franchisee cannot choose their own vendor for business cards but must use the specific provider that Belocal has approved.

This requirement ensures brand consistency across all Belocal franchises, as the franchisor can control the design, quality, and overall appearance of the business cards. While this limits the franchisee's autonomy in selecting suppliers, it helps maintain a uniform brand image, which is a common practice in franchising.

It is important for prospective franchisees to understand that Belocal may receive payments, fees, commissions, or reimbursements from approved suppliers, including the business card provider. Franchisees should inquire about the identity of the designated third-party provider and any potential costs associated with purchasing business cards from them. This information can help franchisees budget accordingly and understand the financial implications of this requirement.
