Is franchisee compliance with local rules a condition for Boulder Designs approval of home-based sites?

According to Boulder Designs' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, compliance with local rules is a condition for automatic approval of home-based sites. Specifically, Boulder Designs automatically approves home-based sites provided they are within a reasonable distance of the assigned territory and comply with local rules.

This means that if a prospective Boulder Designs franchisee plans to operate from a home-based location, the site will be automatically approved by Boulder Designs as long as it meets two conditions: it is within a reasonable distance of the assigned territory and it adheres to all local regulations and ordinances. This could include zoning laws, home occupation permits, or other local requirements.

It is important for potential Boulder Designs franchisees to thoroughly research and understand the local rules and regulations applicable to operating a business from home in their specific territory. Failure to comply with these rules could jeopardize the automatic approval of the site and potentially delay or prevent the franchisee from beginning operations. Franchisees should consult with local authorities and legal counsel to ensure full compliance.
