What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Boulder Designs Franchise Disclosure Document, the purpose of the Franchisee Disclosure Questionnaire is for Boulder Designs to determine if any unauthorized, untrue, inaccurate, or misleading statements or promises were made to the prospective franchisee.
This questionnaire helps Boulder Designs ensure that franchisees are not being given information that contradicts the official Franchise Disclosure Document or the Franchise Agreement. It serves as a check to maintain the integrity of the franchise offering and protect both the franchisor and franchisee from misunderstandings or misrepresentations made during the sales process.
However, the FDD states that prospective franchisees who reside in, or who intend to operate the franchised business in the state of California, Maryland, or Washington, should not complete the questionnaire or respond to any of the questions in the questionnaire. It is unclear from the provided documentation why these states are excluded.
