You are required to work diligently to open for business in a timely manner. We estimate that the length of time between execution of the Franchise Agreement and the opening of your Business to be approximately 1 month. If you fail to do so, we can, at our option, either terminate the Franchise Agreement or grant you an extension for your opening. The factors that may affect the time period are: (i) your ability to attend and satisfactorily complete training; (ii) the time to obtain the necessary equipment and supplies; (iii) the time to obtain the required insurance or bonds; and (iv) the time to obtain all required licenses or permits. If you do not begin operation of your Business within 45 days after you sign the Franchise Agreement, we have the right to terminate the Franchise Agreement (Franchise Agreement – paragraph VII.A).

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Buildingstars's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, you must begin operating your Buildingstars business within 45 days of signing the Franchise Agreement. Failure to do so gives Buildingstars the right to terminate the agreement.
However, Buildingstars estimates that the typical timeframe between signing the Franchise Agreement and opening your business is approximately one month. This suggests that 45 days is a grace period to accommodate potential delays. Buildingstars has the option to grant an extension for your opening if you are unable to open within the 45-day timeframe.
Several factors can affect how quickly you can open your Buildingstars franchise, including your ability to complete training, obtaining necessary equipment and supplies, securing required insurance or bonds, and obtaining all required licenses and permits. Prospective franchisees should be aware of these potential delays and proactively address them to ensure timely business commencement.
