What is a Byrider franchisee advised to obtain before signing or making adjustments to the lease?

According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is advised to seek advice from their own professional advisors before signing or making any adjustments to the lease. This recommendation is made to ensure that the franchisee fully understands the terms of the lease and how it accommodates the operation of their Byrider business.

This advice is particularly important because Byrider's review and consent to the lease are limited to provisions and items that the company believes are necessary and appropriate solely for its own purposes and benefit as the licensor of the Marks and the System. In other words, Byrider's primary concern is protecting its brand and system, not necessarily the franchisee's individual financial interests or operational needs.

By advising franchisees to obtain independent professional advice, Byrider aims to ensure that franchisees make informed decisions about their lease agreements, considering all relevant factors and potential risks. This can help franchisees avoid costly mistakes or misunderstandings that could negatively impact their business operations or financial stability. Seeking professional advice is a common practice in franchising, as it helps franchisees navigate complex legal and financial matters related to their business.
