What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must operate their business only at the approved Business Location. If the location is specified in Exhibit A of the franchise agreement, it means Byrider has already approved it, and the franchisee acknowledges that Byrider has fulfilled its site selection obligations.
If the Business Location isn't identified in Exhibit A, the franchisee is responsible for finding a site that meets Byrider's approval, using their own resources and following any requirements set by Byrider. The final selection of the Business Location requires Byrider's prior written approval, which Byrider will determine is reasonable and final.
Furthermore, Byrider requires that the franchisee operate a service center at the Business Location to provide repair services for vehicles purchased from Byrider, unless Byrider approves in writing the servicing of the general public's vehicles. However, Byrider may waive the requirement to operate a service center at the Business Location if the franchisee or an affiliate operates a service center at another Byrider franchise location, provided that Byrider determines that the service center is reasonably close enough to service the customers of the franchisee.
