What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumper Man's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for covering their own travel and lodging expenses while attending the required training. The training takes place in Dallas, Texas, or another city with a designated trainer.
Item 7 includes an estimated initial investment table that lists "Training-related Expenses" as ranging from $2,000 to $4,000. These expenses are "as incurred" and are paid to "Transportation, Service, and Lodging Providers."
Prospective franchisees should factor these costs into their initial investment calculations. It is important to budget appropriately for travel and accommodation to ensure full participation in the Bumper Man training program. Franchisees should contact the franchisor to understand the full scope of the training program and associated costs.
