What is considered a 'Business Day' in the context of operating the Bumper Man business?

According to the 2025 Bumper Man Franchise Disclosure Document, a 'Business Day' is defined as any calendar day other than Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays in the United States. This definition is important for franchisees to understand, as certain obligations and deadlines within the franchise agreement are tied to 'Business Days'.

For example, if a franchisee fails to submit invoices for processing for seven or more consecutive 'Business Days' without prior approval from Bumper Man, it could potentially lead to a breach of the franchise agreement. Similarly, if the Bumper Business is closed for five or more 'Business Days' without approved reasons or due to an event of Force Majeure, it could also be considered a breach.

Understanding this definition ensures that Bumper Man franchisees can accurately track deadlines, submit required documentation on time, and avoid unintentional violations of the franchise agreement related to operational schedules. This definition is fairly standard across franchise agreements, as it excludes weekends and national holidays when many businesses may be closed or operating on a reduced schedule.
