What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Bumper Man's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee's state of formation is collected as part of the Summary of Acknowledgments and Franchisee Questionnaire. This questionnaire is designed to determine if any unauthorized statements or promises were made to the franchisee during the franchise sales process that might be untrue, inaccurate, or misleading.

Specifically, the questionnaire asks for the franchisee's state of formation, along with other information such as the address of the principal place of business, the franchisee's representative, and the representative's residence address. The questionnaire also includes statements for the franchisee to acknowledge, such as confirmation of their state of domicile, the designated operating area, and receipt of the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) within the required timeframe.

This information helps Bumper Man ensure that the franchisee has received and understood the necessary information and that no unauthorized representations were made. By documenting these acknowledgments, Bumper Man aims to protect itself from potential legal disputes arising from misunderstandings or misrepresentations during the franchise sales process. The questionnaire serves as a record of the franchisee's understanding and agreement with key aspects of the franchise offering.
