What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Byrider Franchising Partners may provide assistance beyond the initial week of operation if they consider it appropriate. Specifically, Byrider provides on-site assistance for the opening of the first Byrider franchise. During the first week a new Byrider location is open, a Byrider representative will be present at the franchisee's business location, at Byrider's expense, to help facilitate the opening. The length of this on-site assistance can vary.
For additional Byrider locations, Byrider Franchising Partners will provide on-site assistance if they deem it appropriate, and this assistance is also provided at Byrider's expense. If a franchisee requests additional support when opening their business, Byrider Franchising Partners may provide assistance beyond the standard support if they consider it appropriate.
Beyond the initial opening, Byrider also periodically inspects the business and provides advice about its operation. Byrider will also provide information on changes and modifications to the Byrider system and/or the manual, guide franchisees in advertising and marketing, and provide forms for required reports. At a franchisee's request, Byrider staff at its principal office will provide guidance.
