What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the standard initial franchise fee is due when signing the Franchise Agreement. However, Bumble Roofing may, in limited circumstances, offer to finance up to 80% of the initial franchise fee. The initial franchise fee is generally non-refundable once paid.
Item 7 of the FDD indicates that other than the initial franchise fee, Bumble Roofing will not provide any direct or indirect financing. The availability and terms of financing depend on several factors, including the availability of financing generally, your creditworthiness, collateral you may have, and the lending policies of financial institutions.
Prospective franchisees should inquire with Bumble Roofing about the specific conditions under which they might finance a portion of the initial franchise fee, as these circumstances are described as 'limited'.
