What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumper Man's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a Certified Technician must pay a "Certified Technician Fee" equal to 50% of the Initial Franchise Fee. This fee is detailed in the Certified Technician Addendum.
This means that if a Bumper Man franchisee wants to utilize a Certified Technician, that technician will be responsible for paying half of what a new franchisee would typically pay to start the business. This fee structure incentivizes the use of certified technicians, as it allows franchisees to expand their service capabilities without incurring the full cost of a new franchise.
It is important for prospective franchisees to understand the full implications of using Certified Technicians, including the specific requirements and obligations outlined in the Certified Technician Addendum. Franchisees should also inquire about the current Initial Franchise Fee to accurately calculate the Certified Technician Fee.
