What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Big Air Trampoline Park's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees incur travel and living expenses during training. These expenses cover airfare, meals, transportation, salaries, benefits, lodging, and incidental costs for all training attendees. Additionally, franchisees must cover the airfare, meals, transportation, and lodging for the Big Air Trampoline Park representative providing on-site training.
The FDD outlines that these expenses are paid as they are incurred during the training period. The recipients of these payments include airlines, hotels, restaurants, and rental car agencies. The low end of the estimated range assumes the franchisee lives near the training location in Laguna Hills, California, and can travel home each night, while the high end assumes travel to Laguna Hills is required.
These costs are part of the initial investment a franchisee must make to get their Big Air Trampoline Park location up and running. The FDD provides a table outlining the estimated initial investment, including a line item for travel and living expenses while training, with a range from $0 to $7,500. This range highlights that costs can vary significantly depending on the franchisee's location and travel needs. It is important for prospective franchisees to factor in these expenses when planning their initial budget.
