What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bigfoot Forestry FDD, a Managing Owner can manage a maximum of three Bigfoot Forestry Businesses. If a franchisee opens and operates more than three Bigfoot Forestry Businesses, they must hire a Project Manager to manage at least one, but no more than three, of their Bigfoot Forestry Businesses.
This implies that as a Bigfoot Forestry franchisee expands their operations, they will need to hire additional Project Managers to oversee each set of up to three businesses. For every three additional Bigfoot Forestry Businesses opened, an additional Project Manager must be hired.
This structure ensures that each Bigfoot Forestry Business receives adequate management and supervision, maintaining the quality and standards of the franchise as the franchisee grows. It also means that the franchisee will need to factor in the cost of hiring and training Project Managers as they scale their Bigfoot Forestry operations.
