Are national holidays in the United States considered 'Business Days' for a Bumper Man franchise?

According to the 2025 Bumper Man Franchise Disclosure Document, national holidays in the United States are not considered 'Business Days'. The FDD defines 'Business Day' specifically as any calendar day other than Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays in the United States. This definition is important for franchisees to understand, as it impacts various operational aspects of the business.

For a prospective Bumper Man franchisee, this means that certain obligations or deadlines outlined in the Franchise Agreement that are measured in 'Business Days' will be affected by national holidays. For example, if a franchisee must submit invoices to the Franchisor for processing within a certain number of business days, national holidays will extend that deadline. Similarly, if the Bumper Business is expected to remain open except for approved closures or force majeure events, the definition of 'Business Day' clarifies the days when standard operating requirements apply.

Understanding this definition helps franchisees plan their business operations, manage their schedules, and ensure compliance with the terms of the Franchise Agreement. It is crucial to factor in these non-business days when calculating deadlines or planning for continuous operation requirements to avoid any potential breaches of contract.
