According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Bft has the right to transfer its rights or obligations without the developer's consent. Specifically, Bft can transfer, assign, or delegate all or any part of its rights or obligations under the agreement without needing the developer's approval.

This clause gives Bft significant flexibility in managing its business and potentially restructuring its operations. For a prospective developer, this means that the entity they initially contracted with could change without their direct input. While the new entity would be bound by the existing agreement, the developer might have preferred the original franchisor due to their specific business practices or relationship.

It is important for potential Bft developers to consider this clause carefully and understand that the franchisor can transfer the agreement to another party. This could impact the level of support, the strategic direction of the franchise, or other aspects of the business relationship. Developers should evaluate the potential implications of this transfer clause and discuss any concerns with Bft before entering into the agreement.
