What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, National Accounts are defined as customers or accounts that Bumble Roofing designates, at its sole discretion, as desiring central billing accounts. Alternatively, accounts with at least twenty locations, where such locations are situated in more than one franchised or company-owned territory or market, also qualify as National Accounts.

This definition is important for prospective franchisees because it clarifies the types of customers that Bumble Roofing may directly service, potentially impacting the franchisee's service area and revenue opportunities. Franchisees need to understand that Bumble Roofing retains the authority to designate these National Accounts.

Bumble Roofing also retains the right to directly or indirectly provide services to National Accounts located inside or outside the franchisee's territory. This could mean that a franchisee might not be able to pursue or service certain large clients within their territory if Bumble Roofing designates them as National Accounts.
