What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Boulder Designs' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee does not already own acceptable office and storage space, they may need to lease a space adequate to store equipment and maintain an office. Boulder Designs recommends a minimum of 1,000 square feet of production space.
This production space should include a doorway that is 10 feet tall and 10 feet wide to accommodate the equipment. The space should also have access to water and a minimum of 150 amp single phase electric service.
For a prospective Boulder Designs franchisee, this means they should budget for the cost of leasing or owning a space that meets these minimum requirements. The cost of leasing a site is listed in Item 7, with an estimated cost of $0 to $3,500. It is important to note that these are only recommendations, and the actual space needed may vary depending on the scale of the franchisee's operations.
