What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bumper Man Franchise Disclosure Document, the "Bumper Business" refers to a Bumper Man business operating under the Marks and System under the Franchise Agreement. This definition is crucial for understanding the scope and limitations of both the franchisee's and the Certified Technician's roles and responsibilities.
Specifically, the Certified Technician Addendum outlines the terms and conditions under which a franchisee can retain a Certified Technician to perform services within a designated area. The aim is to maximize the number of customers serviced by the Bumper Business. The Certified Technician must meet certain criteria, including having sufficient business experience, aptitude, assets, and financial resources to operate the Bumper Business, and must not be involved in any competing bumper repair services.
Furthermore, the agreement emphasizes that the Certified Technician operates under the Bumper Man brand and system. This ensures consistency and quality of service. The franchisee remains responsible for supervising the Certified Technician's performance and is liable for any failures or breaches of the Franchise Agreement or Addendum by the technician. This arrangement allows Bumper Man franchisees to expand their service capacity while maintaining brand standards and franchisee accountability.
