The franchise BOR Franchising, LLC offers several structured training programs for its franchisees:
Initial Training This is mandatory for the franchise owner (if a sole proprietor) or the designated Principal Operator or Manager. It typically spans five days with about 40 hours of instruction. Two people can attend without tuition if completed on time—one must finish before opening, and the second has up to 365 days after. Failing trainees may retake it once without extra tuition, but travel and lodging costs are the franchisee’s responsibility.
Additional Training BOR may offer optional or mandatory seminars, conferences, or specialized training, sometimes for a tuition fee. Franchisees pay for their travel and accommodation, and extra fees apply if more than two people are sent to initial training or if someone attends after the 365-day window.
Post-Opening Assistance The franchisor provides ongoing training updates, revisions to the Franchisee Manuals, and may conduct site visits or inspections. Additional training can also be requested by the franchisee, subject to approval and fees.
Territory Protection
BOR Franchising, LLC offers its franchisees an Exclusive Territory, meaning that as long as the franchisee complies with the agreement, no other franchise, company-owned, or affiliate-owned business will be placed within that area.
This allows the franchisee to serve clients only within their designated zone, with temporary permission to service nearby unassigned areas until another franchise is placed there.
However, this territorial protection does not guarantee success or profitability, and the franchisor explicitly states that performance is up to the franchisee.
