What are the Buildingstars franchisee's obligations regarding site selection (Item 9) and how does this relate to the assistance provided by the franchisor (Item 11)?

According to Buildingstars's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 9 outlines the franchisee's obligations, referencing other items in the document that provide further detail. Specifically, regarding site selection, the table indicates that this obligation is 'Not applicable' and refers to Items 7 and 11 for further information. This suggests that Buildingstars franchisees may not be responsible for selecting a physical site in the traditional sense, which is common in franchises that operate from a fixed retail location. Instead, Buildingstars franchisees likely operate a mobile or service-based business where they travel to customer locations.

Since site selection is marked as 'Not applicable,' the reference to Items 7 and 11 likely pertains to the assistance Buildingstars provides in identifying potential customer locations or territories. Item 11, in particular, would detail the extent of Buildingstars's support in helping franchisees secure clients or service contracts within their designated area. This could include providing leads, marketing support, or other resources to help franchisees establish their customer base.

In summary, while Buildingstars franchisees may not need to find a physical location for their business, they should carefully review Items 7 and 11 to understand the scope of support Buildingstars offers in terms of customer acquisition and territory development. This is crucial for assessing the potential for success and the level of assistance they can expect from the franchisor in building their business.
