What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the opening advertising expenditures do count toward the individual advertising investment requirement. Specifically, Bumble Roofing requires franchisees to launch a marketing and advertising campaign for their roofing business in their territory. This campaign must begin before the operating season and no later than the opening of the business.
The minimum expenditure for this opening advertising campaign is $20,000, and the range can go up to $30,000. This investment is required to be spent over the period starting one month before opening and continuing for five months after opening.
Item 7 of the FDD lists the opening advertising/marketing costs as ranging from $20,000 to $30,000. The FDD specifies that these opening advertising expenditures will count toward the franchisee's individual advertising investment requirement, which is further detailed in Items 6 and 11 of the Bumble Roofing Franchise Disclosure Document.
