What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumper Man's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Bumper Man offers a franchisee the opportunity to retain a Certified Technician, the franchisee and the technician must execute the Certified Technician Addendum within 60 days of Bumper Man's approval of the technician. The Certified Technician must also pay the Certified Technician Fee and complete initial training within this 60-day period.
This requirement ensures that the Certified Technician is officially integrated into the Bumper Man system promptly after approval. It also makes sure that the technician is properly trained and has paid the necessary fees to operate under the Bumper Man brand.
For a prospective Bumper Man franchisee, this means that once a Certified Technician is approved, there is a limited time frame to finalize the agreement and ensure the technician is ready to begin work. Failure to meet this deadline could potentially delay or prevent the technician from providing services, impacting the franchisee's ability to maximize customer service within their designated area.
