What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bigfoot Forestry FDD, franchisees are required to purchase all required insurance policies. As part of establishing their business, franchisees must obtain all required licenses, permits, and approvals from Governmental Authorities, and purchase all required insurance policies and provide Bigfoot Forestry with evidence of such.
While the FDD excerpt confirms that franchisees must obtain required insurance policies, it does not specify the types of insurance required. It is unclear whether cyber insurance is included in the required insurance policies.
A prospective Bigfoot Forestry franchisee should inquire with the franchisor about the specific types and amounts of insurance coverage required to operate a franchise, including whether cyber insurance is mandated.
