What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bojangles' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, to be eligible to purchase a Bojangles franchise, you must be a corporation or a limited liability company. However, Bojangles must approve your specific corporate structure.
This requirement ensures that franchisees have a formal business structure, which provides a level of legal and financial accountability. Franchisors like Bojangles often require this to maintain consistency and professionalism across their franchise network.
Prospective franchisees should discuss their specific business structure with Bojangles during the application process to ensure it meets their approval. This is a standard practice in franchising, as the business structure can impact liability, taxation, and operational aspects of the franchise.
