What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must own and maintain computer hardware, facilities, and communication connections at their Approved Location. These connections include DSL, cable, or other connections.
This requirement ensures that franchisees can access and utilize the Aerus Franchise Office Automation System (FOAS), which is a crucial part of the Aerus system. The FOAS includes software programs and modules for customer relationship and lead management, financial administration, and inventory ordering and management.
By maintaining these communication devices, Aerus franchisees can effectively manage their business operations, communicate with customers, and stay connected with the franchisor's system. It is important for prospective franchisees to factor in the costs associated with acquiring and maintaining these technologies when evaluating the overall investment required to start an Aerus franchise.
