Who is responsible for determining appropriate staffing levels for a Bigfoot Forestry Business?

According to Bigfoot Forestry's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for determining appropriate staffing levels for their Bigfoot Forestry business. This ensures compliance with the Franchise Agreement and Bigfoot Forestry's system standards.

This means that as a franchisee, you have the autonomy to decide how many employees you need to effectively operate your business and meet the standards set by Bigfoot Forestry. This includes hiring service technicians, project managers, and other staff as needed. However, this responsibility also carries the obligation to ensure that your staffing decisions align with the requirements outlined in the Franchise Agreement and the operational standards of the Bigfoot Forestry system.

It is important to carefully consider factors such as the size of your territory, the volume of work, and the skills required to perform Bigfoot Forestry services when determining staffing levels. While Bigfoot Forestry does not dictate the exact number of employees you must hire, they do require that you maintain adequate staffing to meet their standards and comply with the agreement. This ensures consistent service quality and adherence to the Bigfoot Forestry brand standards across all franchise locations.
