Board & Brush Creative Studio offers territory protection to its franchisees to ensure a fair and supportive business environment. This protection means that each franchisee is granted an exclusive territory where no other Board & Brush studios will be allowed to operate, minimizing direct competition among franchise owners within the same brand.
The size and boundaries of the protected territory are determined based on factors such as population density, market potential, and geographical considerations. This territorial exclusivity helps franchisees to build a strong customer base and ensures that they can maximize their market potential without the risk of overlapping with another Board & Brush studio.
