Who pays for the expenses related to attending the mandatory annual Bumble Roofing conferences?

According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for covering the costs associated with attending the mandatory annual conferences. Specifically, the franchisee must pay the conference fee, if any, and all personal travel and living expenses.

These mandatory annual conferences are held either at Bumble Roofing's headquarters in Richmond, Virginia, or at another location chosen by the company. This means franchisees need to budget not only for the conference fee itself, but also for transportation, accommodation, meals, and other incidental costs related to traveling to and staying at the conference location.

This arrangement is typical in the franchise industry, where franchisees generally bear the costs of training and conferences. By requiring franchisees to cover these expenses, Bumble Roofing ensures that franchisees are invested in their own professional development and the success of their business. Franchisees should consider these costs when evaluating the overall financial investment required to operate a Bumble Roofing franchise.
