What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a rider to the Multi-Unit Agreement is signed because if the Developer is domiciled in the State of North Dakota, the Bft studio that the Developer develops under their Multi-Unit Agreement is or will be operated in the State of North Dakota.
This means that if a Bft developer lives in North Dakota, any Bft studio they develop under the agreement will be located and operated within North Dakota. This condition is specifically addressed in a rider to the standard Multi-Unit Agreement, indicating that it's a state-specific requirement or consideration.
This stipulation ensures that the Bft franchise adheres to North Dakota's specific regulations and legal requirements for franchise operations. It also clarifies the geographical scope of the developer's responsibilities and rights under the Multi-Unit Agreement, providing a clear understanding for both the franchisor and the developer regarding where the Bft business will be conducted.
