What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Ledgers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must provide a certificate of insurance annually. The FDD specifies that franchisees must maintain insurance policies with appropriate limits to cover risks, with minimum limits defined in the manual. Ledgers must be named as an "additional insured" on these policies.
This requirement ensures that Ledgers franchisees have adequate insurance coverage to protect both their business and the franchisor from potential liabilities. By requiring annual certificates of insurance, Ledgers maintains up-to-date proof of coverage and can verify that franchisees continue to meet the necessary insurance requirements.
For a prospective franchisee, this means budgeting for annual insurance costs and ensuring that the insurance policies meet Ledgers' minimum requirements as outlined in the manual. Failing to provide the certificate of insurance annually could result in a breach of the franchise agreement and potential penalties.
