Can Bumble Roofing change the required accounting system for franchisees?

Based on the 2025 Bumble Roofing Franchise Disclosure Document, the excerpts provided do not specifically address whether Bumble Roofing can change the required accounting system for franchisees. However, the FDD does state in Section 8.4 that the franchisor and its representatives have the right to require that the franchisee demonstrate that the Business employees are properly trained in a manner sufficient to provide Services in compliance with Franchisor's standards and procedures.

Item 22 outlines various obligations of the franchisee, including compliance with software license agreements for software required by Bumble Roofing. This suggests that Bumble Roofing has some authority over the technology and systems used in the franchise operations. Additionally, the franchise agreement emphasizes the importance of maintaining uniformity and adhering to Bumble Roofing's System, which includes confidential operating procedures and standards.

While the FDD excerpts do not explicitly state that Bumble Roofing can change the required accounting system, the broad rights and obligations outlined in the franchise agreement suggest that such a change could be within their purview, especially if it aligns with maintaining uniformity and standards across the Bumble Roofing system. A prospective franchisee should seek clarification from Bumble Roofing regarding their ability to mandate changes to accounting systems and what recourse a franchisee has if they disagree with such changes.
