What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may have additional or replacement trainees attend future training courses without incurring an additional fee, provided there is available space and scheduling permits. Bumble Roofing provides initial training for up to three individuals at no charge.
However, if no courses are scheduled or if there is no space available in scheduled courses, Bumble Roofing may assess a training fee. As of the issuance of the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, this fee is $5,000 per trainee. If a franchisee requests training at their own location, Bumble Roofing will charge its then-current daily fees per trainer, which is currently $250 per trainer per day, in addition to covering travel, per diem, and lodging expenses as required.
This policy has implications for franchisees who need to train additional staff or replace personnel after the initial training. It is beneficial to take advantage of available space in scheduled courses to avoid the $5,000 per trainee fee. Franchisees should factor in these potential training costs when planning their operational budget and staffing needs.
