Does the Bumble Roofing FDD contain the full text of the Franchise Agreement?

The Bumble Roofing 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) does not explicitly state that it contains the full text of the Franchise Agreement. However, the California Addendum to the FDD includes a statement that "THE CALIFORNIA FRANCHISE INVESTMENT LAW REQUIRES THAT A COPY OF ALL PROPOSED AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE SALE OF THE FRANCHISE BE DELIVERED TOGETHER WITH THE DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT." This implies that at least for prospective franchisees in California, the proposed agreements, including the Franchise Agreement, should be provided along with the FDD.

For prospective franchisees outside of California, the FDD includes addenda that refer to and modify specific sections of the Franchise Agreement. These addenda often state that "Except as expressly modified by this Addendum, the Franchise Agreement remains unmodified and in full force and effect." This suggests that the Franchise Agreement exists as a separate document that the addenda are designed to amend.

To confirm whether the complete Franchise Agreement is included in the FDD for states other than California, a prospective Bumble Roofing franchisee should verify directly with the franchisor. They should specifically ask if the document includes the entire Franchise Agreement or if it is provided separately. This is crucial for understanding all the terms and conditions before making a franchise investment decision.
