What reports is a Bumble Roofing franchisee required to furnish to the franchisor?

According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must furnish an accounting of their Individual Advertising Investment expenditures to the franchisor. This accounting must be provided monthly or yearly, as prescribed by Bumble Roofing, and upon their request. The accounting must be on a form approved by Bumble Roofing.

During the first 12 months of operations, a Bumble Roofing franchisee must spend a minimum of $65,000 on promotional advertising within their territory. If a franchisee has additional contiguous territories, they must spend an additional $15,000 per territory. After the first year, the franchisee must spend the greater of (a) $65,000 plus $15,000 for each additional contiguous territory, or (b) 5% of the prior year's Gross Revenues.

Bumble Roofing retains the right, but not the obligation, to collect up to the minimum required Individual Advertising Investment from the franchisee and manage these funds for marketing and advertising investments within the franchisee's territory on their behalf. This provides Bumble Roofing with control over how advertising funds are spent, ensuring brand consistency and potentially more effective marketing campaigns. Franchisees should be aware of these advertising obligations and reporting requirements as they represent a significant ongoing expense.
