What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Boulder Designs' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Project Deposit for the National Headstone Program is based on the template and materials selected by the customer. The amount of the deposit can vary depending on the total cost of the project.
Boulder Designs collects this deposit before sending the design proof and customer information to the franchisee for creation and construction. The franchisee is then entitled to the remaining balance of the project's gross revenue, after the Project Deposit is deducted.
The Project Deposit is retained by Boulder Designs as a National Headstone Accounts Fee. This fee compensates Boulder Designs for obtaining the project, maintaining the National Headstone Program website, marketing services to generate leads, and covering administrative costs associated with the program. This fee applies to revenue generated both inside and outside the franchisee's territory as a result of leads provided by Boulder Designs through the National Headstone Program.
