Who is responsible for the cost of additional computer training for a Bumble Roofing franchisee?

Based on the 2025 Bumble Roofing Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for upgrading the computer system to meet the franchisor's current standards when renewing their franchise agreement. Specifically, if a franchisee wants to extend their agreement for an additional term, they must upgrade their computer systems to Bumble Roofing's then-current standards.

This requirement is part of the conditions that Bumble Roofing can impose for a franchisee to qualify for a Successor Term. The upgrade cost is in addition to other fees, such as the Successor Franchise Fee, which is the greater of $5,000 or 25% of the then-existing Initial Franchise Fee.

This means that a Bumble Roofing franchisee needs to factor in the cost of upgrading their computer system when considering renewing their franchise agreement. It is important to note that the specific costs associated with these upgrades can vary depending on Bumble Roofing's standards at the time of renewal. A prospective franchisee should inquire about the typical cost and scope of these required computer system upgrades to better understand the financial implications of renewing their franchise agreement.
