The FDD specifies that if a franchisee already owns a suitable vehicle that meets Bumble Roofing's standards, they are only required to purchase the vehicle graphics and equipment package. If a franchisee needs to acquire a vehicle, the estimated costs include leasing or purchasing an approved vehicle (Ford Maverick, Ford Ranger, or Ford F150), the graphics package, and basic tools and equipment like a ladder, roofing samples, and a pressure washer.
It's important to note that Bumble Roofing may require franchisees to purchase certain proprietary products, including vehicle wraps and graphics, exclusively from them or their affiliates, as stated in Item 8 of the FDD. The estimated total initial investment for equipment and vehicles ranges from $11,598 to $79,434, depending on whether the franchisee finances the purchase with a 20% down payment or pays in full. Franchisees should clarify with Bumble Roofing whether the $5,000 for the graphics package is a fixed cost or if it could vary.
