What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay an Additional Household Fee if they are permitted to purchase additional geographic areas for a specific territory that exceeds 100,000 single-family households. The fee is calculated by multiplying the number of single-family households exceeding 100,000 by $0.25. Bumble Roofing does not anticipate granting a single territory that exceeds 149,999 single-family households. This fee is earned upon receipt and is not refundable under any circumstances.
For example, if a Bumble Roofing franchisee's territory consists of 120,000 single-family households, they would pay an Additional Household Fee of $5,000. This is calculated as (120,000 - 100,000) * $0.25 = $5,000. This additional fee is then added to the initial franchise fee of $49,500, resulting in a total initial franchise fee of $54,500.
This policy allows Bumble Roofing to adjust the initial investment based on the potential market size of the territory. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider the household count of their territory and factor in this additional fee when evaluating the financial feasibility of the franchise. It's important to note that the Additional Household Fee is non-refundable, so franchisees should be confident in their ability to serve the expanded territory.
