For how many months must a Cinnaholic franchisee maintain business interruption and extra expense insurance?

According to Cinnaholic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must maintain business interruption and extra expense insurance for a minimum of six months. This insurance is intended to cover net profits and continuing expenses, including Royalty Fees, during any period of business interruption.

This requirement ensures that Cinnaholic franchisees have a financial safety net to help them weather unexpected events that could temporarily halt operations, such as natural disasters, property damage, or other unforeseen circumstances. By covering net profits and continuing expenses, including royalty fees, the insurance helps franchisees stay afloat financially and meet their obligations to Cinnaholic even when their bakery is not fully operational.

It is important for prospective Cinnaholic franchisees to factor in the cost of this insurance when assessing the overall financial investment required to start and operate a franchise. They should also discuss with the franchisor and insurance providers the specific types of events covered by the business interruption insurance and the level of coverage needed to adequately protect their investment and income.
