- a. For the first franchise you buy, you (if you are a sole proprietor or are the sole equity owner of the business-entity franchisee), your Designated Manager, or your Principal Operator must attend and complete the Initial Training to our reasonable satisfaction. You may also have one additional trainee attend (for a total of two Persons). At least one of the two must complete Initial Training before you open.

If the two people who take Initial Training before opening fail to complete the training to our reasonable satisfaction, both will be permitted to take it the second time for no additional tuition.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bor Restoration's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, for the first franchise a franchisee buys, either the franchisee (if a sole proprietor or sole equity owner), their Designated Manager, or their Principal Operator must attend and complete the Initial Training to Bor Restoration's reasonable satisfaction. The franchisee can also have one additional trainee attend, for a total of two people. At least one of these two individuals must complete the Initial Training before the franchise opens.
After the franchise's Opening Date, the franchisee has up to 365 days to send a second trainee to Initial Training. If both individuals complete the training as described, there is no tuition fee. However, if a person is sent after the 365-day period, the then-current Additional Training Fee will apply.
If someone fails the Initial Training before opening, they can retake it at the next available class without tuition, but the franchisee must cover travel, room, and board expenses. If they fail a second time, they cannot provide services requiring completion of the Initial Training. If both people fail the training twice, Bor Restoration has the right to terminate the Franchise Agreement, although certain restrictive covenants will remain in effect.
