Franchise Disclosure Document and Why Is It Important to a Shipley Do-Nuts Opportunity?
Becoming part of the Shipley franchise family is an exciting process, one that involves a series of steps. One of the most important is taking time to review our Franchise Disclosure Document or FDD. An FDD is a comprehensive document that all franchisors must have that goes over everything you need to know about a brand, including its history and key players. It’s vital that before you enter into an agreement, you be well-informed before making any investment, and a careful review of our FDD will help. In fact, many potential franchisees read it with their attorney. Here, we’ll take a closer look at the role an FDD plays and some of the topics it will discuss.
What Are the Numbers?
An FDD has a lot of crucial information, and perhaps the most important is about cost — what does an investment look like when you’re thinking about a Shipley Do-Nuts franchise opportunity? We believe in being fully transparent about that, which is why our disclosure document clearly lays out the numbers. As a new franchisee, you’ll learn what to expect in the way of start-up costs, including the franchise fee itself. You’ll also learn more about any ongoing fees you’ll be responsible for, including monthly royalty and marketing fees.
When considering which franchises to consider, it’s vital that you have a clear sense of what’s expected of you financially, and our FDD will provide you with the information you’ll need to make an informed decision, one you can feel good about.
What Can You Expect from Us as a Franchisee?
The franchisee/franchisor relationship is an ongoing one, which means some of the most important information our FDD will provide you with is just what to expect from us in the way of training and support. It will also outline what kind of marketing and other resources you can expect from us as you establish and grow your new bakery. Ours is a true partnership that’s critical to the success of the Shipley Do-Nuts brand, and our FDD reiterates that.
Learn What’s Expected of You?
Becoming part of the Shipley franchise family means you’ll be in business for yourself but never by yourself. You’ll have lots of opportunities to make important decisions on your own as you grow your business — but you’ll also enjoy the security that comes with being part of something bigger than yourself. That security is a result of adhering to certain guidelines and processes that make growth easier and more efficient. These are laid out clearly in our Franchise Disclosure Document. While you’ll have the freedom to run your bakery the way you’d like, it’s important to adhere to our business model, utilize all our proprietary recipes and materials, and stick to the full culture of our brand. This kind of consistency helps to distinguish us from our competitors and sets us all up for success.
