From whom must a Budget franchisee purchase Site Surveys, according to the Budget FDD?

According to Budget's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Site Surveys must be purchased only from Approved Suppliers. This requirement is outlined in Item 8, which discusses restrictions on sources of products and services.

This means that a prospective Budget franchisee does not have the freedom to choose any vendor for conducting Site Surveys. Instead, they must select from a list of suppliers that Budget has specifically approved. This ensures that the surveys meet Budget's standards and requirements.

While the FDD excerpt specifies that Site Surveys must be purchased from Approved Suppliers, it does not list the specific Approved Suppliers. It also does not provide details on how to become an approved supplier or the criteria Budget uses for approving suppliers. A prospective franchisee should ask Budget for a list of approved suppliers and the process for Site Survey supplier approval.
