What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a new franchisee must spend a minimum of $20,000 on opening advertising. This expenditure must occur over the six-month period, starting one month before the franchise opens and continuing for the five months following the opening.
These funds are to be used specifically for marketing within the franchisee's territory and must be spent on advertising that Bumble Roofing approves. The franchisee can pay these advertising costs to third-party suppliers or directly to Bumble Roofing.
It is important to note that while there is a minimum amount required for opening advertising, Bumble Roofing does not set a limit on what a franchisee can spend. All advertising materials, including those developed by the franchisee, must be approved by Bumble Roofing, with a response time of 14 business days. Failure to respond within this timeframe results in automatic disapproval. This initial advertising spend is separate from ongoing marketing obligations.
