What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated proportion of required purchases from Approved Suppliers and leases to all purchases and leases when establishing a Master Franchise Business is between 4% and 5%. The estimated proportion when operating the Master Franchise Business is between 20% and 35%.
This means that when initially setting up the Bhc Master Franchise, a relatively small percentage of your total purchases and leases must be from suppliers approved by Bhc. However, once the business is operational, a significantly larger percentage of your purchases and leases will need to be from these approved suppliers. This is a common practice in franchising to maintain brand consistency and quality control.
Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these requirements, as they impact sourcing flexibility and potentially costs. While the initial setup allows for more flexibility, the ongoing operations require a greater reliance on Bhc's approved suppliers. Franchisees should evaluate the Approved Suppliers List (Exhibit H) and understand the implications of these required purchases on their overall business expenses and profitability.
