Is a Byrider franchisee typically responsible for acquiring a suitable site for their Byrider Business?

yrider Franchising Partners provides:

1. Site Approval. You will select a site for your Business and submit the location to Byrider Franchising Partners for approval. Byrider Franchising Partners approves your Business location if the location is considered appropriate. Byrider Franchising Partners considers several factors when it accepts or rejects a proposed site including demographics of the location, accessibility, daily traffic counts, level of competition, rent and construction costs and whether there is sufficient residential and commercial backup to support the Business. Byrider Franchising Partners will provide you with written notice of approval or disapproval of the proposed site within 30 days after receiving your written proposal. If you do not receive our approval or disapproval within 30 days, the location will be considered disapproved and you will need to resubmit the site. In the event your submitted site is not approved, you will need to submit alternate sites until one is approved. You are responsible for acquiring a suitable site for your Business. Byrider Franchising Partners does not typically own or lease the premises to you. (Franchise Agreement - Article 6.4)

Upon the written approval of the proposed Business location, you will execute a lease (if the Business location is to be leased) or a binding agreement to purchase the site, with terms that have been approved by Byrider Franchising Partners. Byrider Franchising Partners' approval of the lease will be conditioned upon execution of the lease addendum attached as Exhibit G to the Franchise Agreement by you and the landlord.

The typical length of time between the signing of the Franchise Agreement or the first payment of consideration for the Businesses and the opening of the Businesses is about 180 to 360 days.
