What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bumper Man Franchise Disclosure Document, a transferee—the person or entity buying an existing Bumper Man franchise—must complete the Initial Training. This requirement is one of several conditions that must be met before the transfer of the franchise can be approved by Bumper Man.
Specifically, the FDD states that the transferee and their owners, as specified by Bumper Man, are required to complete the Initial Training. This ensures that the new operator is properly trained in the Bumper Man system and standards. This requirement helps maintain consistency and quality across all Bumper Man franchise locations.
In addition to completing the Initial Training, the transferee must also meet other criteria, such as having sufficient business experience, financial resources, and a good character. They must also agree to be bound by the current form of the Bumper Man franchise agreement and pay a transfer fee, which includes the fee for the Initial Training. Meeting all these conditions is essential for the transfer to be approved and for the new franchisee to successfully operate the Bumper Man business.
