What standards must a transferee meet to the satisfaction of Bojangles when seeking to acquire a franchise?

According to Bojangles's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a transferee seeking to acquire a franchise must meet several standards to the satisfaction of Bojangles. The transferee must demonstrate that they meet Bojangles's educational, managerial, and business standards. This indicates that Bojangles assesses the transferee's background and experience to ensure they have the skills and knowledge to successfully operate a franchise.

In addition to meeting certain business standards, the transferee must possess a good moral character, business reputation, and credit rating. Bojangles aims to ensure that its franchisees maintain a high level of integrity and financial responsibility. The transferee must also demonstrate the aptitude and ability to conduct the franchised business, potentially through prior related business experience. This suggests that Bojangles prefers transferees with a proven track record in a similar industry, though other evidence of aptitude may be considered.

Finally, the transferee must have adequate financial resources and capital to operate the franchised business. This is a critical requirement, as it ensures that the transferee can cover the costs of running the franchise and meeting financial obligations. Meeting these standards is essential for a smooth transfer process and to maintain the quality and reputation of the Bojangles brand.
