What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Buildingstars' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a transferee of a Buildingstars franchise must successfully complete the initial training program. Specifically, the transferee and/or the transferee's management team, including a designated manager, must complete the training.
Buildingstars can also withhold consent for the transfer if the transferee lacks adequate previous management experience, as determined solely by Buildingstars. This implies that Buildingstars places significant importance on both formal training and practical experience for those taking over an existing franchise.
In the event of the death or legal incapacity of a Buildingstars franchisee, the franchisee's heirs, personal representatives, or conservators can take over the franchise if they meet Buildingstars' standards for new franchisees, execute the current franchise agreement, and ensure that a manager has satisfactorily completed Buildingstars' Initial Training Program within thirty days.
This requirement ensures that anyone taking over a Buildingstars franchise is properly trained and capable of maintaining the standards and operational procedures of the Buildingstars system. It also protects the brand and reputation of Buildingstars by ensuring that all franchisees, including transferees, are competent and qualified.
