What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Boulder Designs' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must obtain written permission from Boulder Designs to locate their office, including a home office, outside of their designated territory.
This requirement ensures that Boulder Designs maintains control over its brand and market presence. By requiring written permission, Boulder Designs can assess the potential impact of an office located outside the territory on existing franchisees and the overall market. This helps prevent conflicts and ensures consistent brand representation.
For a prospective Boulder Designs franchisee, this means that operating outside the assigned territory is not permitted without explicit approval from the franchisor. It is important to factor in the territory boundaries when making location decisions and to communicate with Boulder Designs regarding any potential need to operate outside of the territory. Failure to obtain written permission could result in a breach of the franchise agreement.
