What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees who sign a Beyond Addendum must attend additional training focused on Beyond products. This includes an extra one-day Beyond Product training and an additional one-week of on-the-job Beyond Product training at an Aerus Business.
The standard training program for Aerus franchisees includes a four-day Management and Business Administration (MBA) training program, which covers topics such as accounting practices, profit and loss statements, proprietary accounting software, order levels, recruiting, marketing, and strategies for the healthy home industry. This MBA training can be attended in person in Dallas, Texas, or remotely through online or web conferences. All franchisees also attend one week of on-the-job training at an Aerus Business.
The additional Beyond Product training suggests a significant focus on these specialized products, indicating that franchisees offering Beyond products require more in-depth knowledge and practical skills. The table provided in the FDD shows that franchisees who sign a Beyond Addendum receive a total of 40 hours of classroom training and 80 hours of on-the-job training, compared to the 32 hours of classroom training and 40 hours of on-the-job training for those who do not sign the addendum. This difference highlights the importance Aerus places on proper training for franchisees offering Beyond products and services.
