What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bombs Away's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is generally prohibited from engaging a third-party management company to manage or operate their Bombs Away business. However, this is not a strict prohibition.
The franchisee can engage a third-party management company if they obtain prior written approval from Bombs Away Franchising. The FDD states that Bombs Away Franchising will not unreasonably withhold this approval.
This condition protects Bombs Away's brand and operational standards by ensuring that the business is managed by an approved entity. A prospective franchisee should inquire with Bombs Away Franchising about the specific criteria and process for obtaining approval to use a third-party management company, to understand the circumstances under which such approval would likely be granted.
