What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bumper Man FDD, Bumper Man has the authority to modify the services a franchisee can offer. Specifically, Bumper Man can instruct a franchisee to stop selling or offering particular 'Designated Services' at any time.
This means that a Bumper Man franchisee must stay informed about any changes to approved services and be prepared to adapt their business accordingly. This could involve discontinuing a service that was previously a revenue stream.
The franchisee must comply immediately with any written disapproval from Bumper Man regarding the sale of products, designated services, or methods of distribution. This condition is important for prospective franchisees to consider, as it gives Bumper Man considerable control over the services offered under the franchise.
