Under what condition can a Belocal franchisee operate their office outside the 50-mile radius from the perimeter of their territory?

According to Belocal's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee's office must typically be located within a 50-mile radius from the perimeter of their assigned territory. However, there is an exception to this rule.

A Belocal franchisee can operate their business outside this 50-mile radius if the franchisor, N2 Franchising, Inc., grants them a variance. This implies that franchisees need to seek and obtain explicit permission from Belocal to operate outside the standard geographical restriction.

This condition provides Belocal with control over where its franchisees are operating, likely to prevent market saturation or conflicts between territories. For a prospective franchisee, it means they should discuss any desire or need to operate outside the 50-mile radius with Belocal during their due diligence to understand the likelihood of obtaining such a variance.
