What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the opening advertising fee is payable to either third-party suppliers or to Bumble Roofing itself. Bumble Roofing may then use these funds for payment directly to National Account vendors where required.
The FDD specifies that a new Bumble Roofing franchisee must spend a minimum of $20,000 on opening advertising over the six-month period, commencing one month prior to opening and continuing for the five months after opening. This investment is intended to market the new Bumble Roofing franchise location within its specific territory.
It is important to note that all advertising materials and campaigns must be approved by Bumble Roofing prior to their publication or use. This requirement ensures that all marketing efforts align with the brand's standards and guidelines. The FDD states that Bumble Roofing will respond to advertising approval requests within 14 business days; otherwise, the materials are deemed disapproved.
