What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Boulder Designs Franchise Disclosure Document, the document does not specify the type or amount of consideration that Boulder Designs may receive from approved suppliers based on sales to franchisees. The FDD does define "Approved Suppliers" as those vendors who provide services, product items, supplies, signs, equipment, and other items and services that Boulder Designs approves and that comply with their specifications and quality standards.
While the FDD states that Boulder Designs will provide franchisees with a list of Approved Suppliers in the Manual or other written form, it does not elaborate on any financial arrangements Boulder Designs has with these suppliers.
A prospective franchisee should directly ask Boulder Designs for detailed information about any potential revenue or benefits the franchisor receives from approved suppliers. Understanding these arrangements can help a franchisee assess the overall costs and potential profitability of the franchise.
