Is the Bumper Man website (www.bumperman.com) reviewed or approved by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation?

According to Bumper Man's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company's website (www.bumperman.com) has not been reviewed or approved by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation. The FDD advises that any complaints about the website's content can be directed to the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation at their website, www.dfpi.ca.gov. This disclaimer is included in the franchise agreement to ensure transparency and compliance with California franchise law. Prospective franchisees in California should be aware that the state agency does not endorse or vouch for the accuracy of the information presented on Bumper Man's website.

This lack of review or approval means that Bumper Man is solely responsible for the content and claims made on its website. Franchisees should conduct their own due diligence to verify any information found on the site, especially regarding financial performance or potential earnings. It is common practice for franchisors to manage their own website content, but the responsibility for accuracy rests with the company.

For a prospective Bumper Man franchisee, this information highlights the importance of independent verification. While the website may be a useful resource, it should not be the sole basis for making a franchise investment decision. Contacting existing franchisees, consulting with a franchise attorney, and carefully reviewing the FDD are essential steps in the due diligence process.
