What is the total cost, including estimated shipping, for the Bigfoot Forestry startup package?

According to Bigfoot Forestry's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the total cost for the startup package, which includes estimated shipping costs, is $1,235.

The startup package includes a pre-configured laptop ($600), a Bigfoot costume ($225), five Bigfoot Forestry hats ($125), ten Bigfoot Forestry orange safety shirts ($200), and 500 Bigfoot Forestry business cards ($85). These items are essential for a new franchisee to begin operations and establish the Bigfoot Forestry brand in their territory.

Bigfoot Forestry requires franchisees to purchase the Startup Package from their affiliate approximately 30 days after the effective date of the franchise agreement. This centralized purchasing program ensures brand consistency and potentially offers franchisees a convenient way to acquire necessary items. However, franchisees should be aware that neither Bigfoot Forestry nor its affiliate provide warranties on these items and the franchisee waives any claims against them related to defects.

While the FDD specifies the total cost and items included in the startup package, franchisees should confirm with Bigfoot Forestry whether the items and costs are current at the time of purchase, as these details can change. Additionally, franchisees should inquire about the process for purchasing additional operating equipment, uniforms, and promotional items after the initial startup, as these must be purchased exclusively from Bigfoot Forestry's affiliate unless otherwise approved.
