We did not have any revenues from the sale of equipment and supplies to franchisees in the year ending December 31, 2025, but we reserve the right to do so in the future.
Item 8 gives this proportion in one of two shapes: separate percentages for establishing the business and for operating it, or one figure covering "establishing and operating" together. Where they are separate, answer with the operating percentage; where the passage gives only the combined figure, answer with that. What percentage of the franchisee's purchases must come from designated or approved suppliers?

We shall have the right to modify the provisions of this Section 3.J through the Operations Manual or the System Standards.
Must the franchisor approve the franchisee's site or location before opening?

The vendor opportunity at MOLDMAN
MOLDMAN is a home-services brand headquartered in Illinois with 12 total units—11 franchised and 1 company-owned—across five states. The unit count is small, but year-over-year unit growth sits at 37.5%, signaling an active expansion phase. For a software vendor, the immediate addressable market is those 12 locations, concentrated in Illinois (3), Missouri (2), Arkansas (1), Florida (1), and Indiana (1). The franchise system is operator-light: 9 mapped operators, all single-unit, with no multi-unit owners on file. That means every sale is a single-location decision unless you reach the founder.
Royalties run at 10.0% of gross revenue, and the initial franchise term is 5 years. Average unit volume is not disclosed in the most recent FDD. The brand appears independently owned, with no parent company listed.
Who controls software purchasing
All roads lead to Gregory Bukowski, the founder and the only executive named in Item 1 of the 2026 FDD. There is no CIO, CTO, or VP of Operations on file. In a system this size, Bukowski is the sole decision-maker for any technology that touches the franchise network. If you are selling software into MOLDMAN, your pitch lands on one desk. The operator base—9 single-unit franchisees—may have input on tools they use day-to-day, but any system-wide mandate or recommendation will come from the founder.
Mandated and current tech stack
The 2026 FDD mandates two accounting platforms: QuickBooks by Intuit Inc. and Xero by Xero Limited. No other operational or point-of-sale systems are named as required or recommended. That leaves the field-service management, CRM, scheduling, and payment-processing layers wide open—at least as far as the franchise disclosure document is concerned. Vendors in those categories should assume a greenfield evaluation, but also expect that franchisees may already be using ad hoc tools not captured in the FDD.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 of the FDD contains no extract, meaning there is no publicly disclosed designated-supplier or approved-supplier program. In practice, that often translates to an open procurement model where franchisees source their own tools unless the franchisor issues a directive. For a vendor, this means you can sell unit-by-unit, but the real leverage is still a top-down endorsement from Bukowski.
Renewal timing is worth watching. The initial franchise agreement runs 5 years, and franchisees can renew for an additional 5-year term if they meet conditions: no default, no repeated defaults, written notice of intent, signing the then-current agreement (which may have materially different terms), and a mutual release. With 11 franchised units and a 37.5% growth rate, a wave of new-unit openings and upcoming renewals creates natural software evaluation windows. Align your outreach with those cycles.

Questions vendors ask
MOLDMAN, answered from the filing
Founder Gregory Bukowski is the only executive on file. In a 12-unit system with no parent company, he is the de facto buyer for any system-wide software decision.
The 2026 FDD mandates QuickBooks and Xero for accounting. No POS, CRM, or field-service platforms are named as required or recommended.
12 total units: 11 franchised and 1 company-owned. They are spread across IL (3), MO (2), AR (1), FL (1), and IN (1).
The FDD does not include an Item 8 extract, so there is no disclosed designated-supplier or approved-supplier program. Procurement appears open at the unit level unless otherwise directed.
Initial terms are 5 years, with a 5-year renewal option. With 37.5% YoY unit growth and a 2026 FDD, new-unit onboarding and upcoming renewals could create near-term evaluation windows.
