What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Technology Fee is currently $345 per month. This fee covers two licenses to Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Exchange email addresses, a local instant quoting tool, a local roof visualizer tool, and microsite hosting fees. If a franchisee requires additional licenses, they must pay the then-current per license monthly fee.
Bumble Roofing may increase the Technology Fee, but they will provide the franchisee with 30 days' notice before doing so. This advance notice allows franchisees to prepare for the increased expense and adjust their budgets accordingly.
Technology fees are common in franchising, as franchisors often provide technology platforms and support to franchisees. The 30-day notice period offered by Bumble Roofing is fairly standard, giving franchisees a reasonable amount of time to adjust to any changes in fees.
