As you know Bigfoot Franchising, LLC ("we" or "us), and you are preparing to enter into a Franchise Agreement for the operation of a Bigfoot Forestry franchise. We require that you complete this Questionnaire (a) so that we can determine whether our franchise sales team followed proper sales procedures and (b) to provide us with reasonable assurance that, prior to signing the Franchise Agreement, you have had an adequate opportunity to review the Franchise Disclosure Document and its attachments, consult with legal and/or business advisors of your choosing, and ask us questions about any disclosures or terms that you do not understand. You cannot sign or date this Questionnaire the same day as the Receipt for the Franchise Disclosure Document but you must sign and date it the same day you sign the Franchise Agreement and pay your franchise fee. Please review each of the following questions carefully and provide honest responses to each question.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the provided excerpts do not contain the full Franchisee Disclosure Questionnaire for Bigfoot Forestry. While the document mentions the questionnaire and its purpose, it does not include the actual questions asked. The document states that the purpose of the questionnaire is to ensure that the franchise sales team followed proper procedures and to confirm that the franchisee had adequate opportunity to review the FDD and seek advice before signing the Franchise Agreement. The document also specifies that the questionnaire cannot be signed on the same day as the FDD receipt but must be signed on the same day as the Franchise Agreement and payment of the franchise fee.
Without the full questionnaire, it is impossible to know the specific first question asked of prospective franchisees. However, the document does provide examples of the types of questions included in the questionnaire, such as whether any employees or representatives made statements or promises regarding costs, training, assistance, support, or potential profits that are not contained in the FDD.
To obtain the full Franchisee Disclosure Questionnaire and understand the specific questions asked, a prospective Bigfoot Forestry franchisee should request a complete copy from the franchisor. Reviewing the entire questionnaire will provide a better understanding of the information the franchisor seeks and the representations the franchisee will be making.
