What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bombs Away's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the standard pre-opening training for the Principal Executive will be held at Bombs Away Franchising's headquarters or at a Bombs Away business designated by Bombs Away Franchising. Bombs Away does not charge a fee for this training.
However, franchisees are responsible for covering their own travel, lodging, meals, and other out-of-pocket expenses while attending the training. Bombs Away Franchising also retains the right to change the length and content of the initial training program depending on the attendee's experience and skill level.
This arrangement is fairly typical in the franchise industry, where franchisors provide the initial training without a direct training fee but pass on the costs of travel and accommodation to the franchisee. This allows Bombs Away to maintain control over the training program while keeping the initial costs lower for new franchisees.
