Additional Household Fee.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the 'Household Limit' is a threshold of 100,000 single-family households within a territory. If a prospective franchisee's territory contains less than this limit, the initial franchise fee is $49,500. However, Bumble Roofing reserves the right to charge an increased initial franchise fee if the territory exceeds this limit, with the fee determined on a case-by-case basis.
If Bumble Roofing permits a franchisee to purchase additional geographic areas that cause the territory to exceed the 100,000 single-family household limit, the franchisee must pay an 'Additional Household Fee.' This fee is calculated by multiplying the number of households exceeding the limit by $0.25. For example, if a territory consists of 120,000 single-family households, the additional fee would be $5,000 (20,000 x $0.25), bringing the total initial franchise fee to $54,500.
Bumble Roofing does not anticipate granting a single territory that exceeds 149,999 single-family households. This limit on territory size and the associated fees are important considerations for prospective franchisees as they evaluate the potential market size and investment required for a Bumble Roofing franchise.
