According to the 2025 Bumper Man Franchise Disclosure Document, payments are generally non-refundable unless specifically stated otherwise. This overarching policy applies to the various fees outlined in Item 6, which covers other fees.

The fees listed in Item 6 include the initial franchise fee of $50,000, which is paid as a lump sum upon signing the Franchise Agreement. Other expenditures include a truck with tonneau cover or camper shell ($15,000 - $40,000), computer hardware and software ($750 - $1,500), training-related expenses ($2,000 - $4,000), telephone and mobile phone costs ($75 - $300), and insurance ($1,700 - $3,000). There are also replacement costs for invoicing equipment and the manual (up to $2,400), late fees ($150 per late notice), costs and attorney's fees (varying), a renewal fee (the greater of 3% of the then-current initial franchise fee and $1,000), and indemnification costs (varying).

Since the general policy is non-refundability unless otherwise noted, a prospective Bumper Man franchisee should carefully review the Franchise Agreement and any related documents to identify if there are any specific conditions under which any of these fees might be refundable. It would be prudent to seek clarification from Bumper Man regarding the refundability of each fee, especially the initial franchise fee, before signing the agreement.
