Training 

Bumper Man offers a comprehensive training program for its franchisees, encompassing several key components:

Initial Training Program: Franchisees and their Operating Principal must complete the Initial Training Program before launching their franchise. This program includes all essential aspects of operating the franchise, and franchisees are responsible for covering all associated costs.

Training Location and Schedule: The initial training takes place in various cities with certified trainers. Franchisees spend one week with each trainer within their Designated Area. Completion of this training is required before commencing bumper repair services.

On-Site Training and Marketing Guidance: Following the initial training, a Bumper Man representative provides a minimum of three days of on-site training and marketing guidance within the franchisee’s Designated Area.

Additional Training: Franchisees may request or be required to participate in additional refresher or retraining courses. While there is currently no charge for refresher training, the franchisor reserves the right to implement a fee in the future.

Territory Protection

Bumper Man ensures territory protection for its franchisees by assigning each franchise a specific geographic region, referred to as the "Designated Area." Within this area, the franchisor commits not to operate or authorize any other Bumper Man business.

However, beyond the boundaries of the Designated Area, the franchisor reserves the right to conduct business activities that may compete with the franchisee.
