What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Bumble Roofing will make available advertising and promotion materials that are used by the franchisor and other franchisees. However, the franchisee must pay the duplication costs for any advertising or promotion material provided by Bumble Roofing.
Bumble Roofing requires franchisees to engage in local marketing, promotion, and advertising to inform the public about their business. During the first year, a franchisee must spend a minimum of $65,000 on promotional advertising within their territory, and an additional $15,000 for each additional contiguous territory. After the first year, franchisees must spend the greater of either $65,000 plus $15,000 for each additional contiguous territory, or 5% of the prior year's gross revenues.
Franchisees cannot develop advertising materials for use in the business without prior written approval from Bumble Roofing. If Bumble Roofing approves the advertising materials prepared by the franchisee, Bumble Roofing may make those materials available to other franchisees.
