What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cream's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial investment for insurance for the first three months of operation ranges from $500 to $750. This insurance coverage must be maintained for the Cream shop. The payments are made to unaffiliated third parties such as insurance companies, and are due as incurred.
Cream franchisees should note that insurance premiums may be payable monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually, depending on the insurance company's practices and the franchisee's creditworthiness. This means the initial $750 estimate could potentially be higher or lower based on these factors. It is important to shop around for the best insurance rates and understand the payment terms offered by different providers.
Understanding the full scope of required insurance coverage is crucial. Item 8 of the FDD, referenced in the description of insurance costs, will provide more details on the specific types of insurance Cream requires franchisees to carry. Prospective franchisees should carefully review Item 8 and consult with an insurance professional to obtain accurate quotes and ensure they have adequate coverage for their Cream franchise.
