What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee fails to provide at least 60 days prior written notice of their business opening, Byrider is relieved of its obligation to provide assistance in connection with the opening of the franchisee's business. This assistance is detailed in Section 6.6 of the franchise agreement.
This stipulation means that a Byrider franchisee must adhere strictly to the notification timeline to receive the full support Byrider offers during the critical initial phase of launching the business. Failing to provide timely notice can result in the franchisee missing out on essential support services that Byrider would otherwise provide.
Prospective franchisees should note the importance of understanding and meeting all deadlines and requirements outlined in the franchise agreement to ensure they receive all available assistance from Byrider. This includes carefully planning the opening of their business to allow for the 60-day notification period, which is crucial for securing Byrider's support during the opening phase.
