What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Byrider Franchising Partners does not provide written approval or disapproval of a proposed site within 30 days after receiving a franchisee's written proposal, the location will be considered disapproved. This means the franchisee will need to resubmit the site for approval.
Site selection is a critical step for any new Byrider franchise. The franchisor considers factors such as demographics, accessibility, traffic counts, competition, rent, and the area's residential and commercial support when evaluating a proposed site. Because Byrider must approve the site, franchisees should work closely with Byrider to ensure the location meets their criteria.
Since the site is considered disapproved if no response is received within 30 days, franchisees should follow up with Byrider to confirm receipt of their proposal and to inquire about the status if the deadline approaches. This proactive approach can help avoid delays in the site selection process and keep the project on track. The franchisee is ultimately responsible for acquiring a suitable site for their Byrider Business.
