Territory Protection

Blue Nose Aerial Imaging provides each franchisee with a defined “Operating Territory,” agreed upon and approved by the franchisor.

The franchisor may operate or license others outside the assigned territory, even in nearby areas. Additionally, Blue Nose can authorize other franchisees to perform services within a territory under special programs like national accounts.
