To whom must the Aerus Franchisee provide evidence of the assumed name filings?

According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must provide evidence of assumed name filings to Aerus. Specifically, the franchisee is responsible for making all necessary county and state assumed name filings required by law. This includes any filings that become necessary due to changes in the required trade names.

This requirement ensures that the Aerus franchise operates under a legally compliant name and that Aerus maintains brand consistency across all franchise locations. The franchisor needs this documentation to confirm that the franchisee has properly registered the business name and is operating legally within their designated area.

For a prospective Aerus franchisee, this means they will need to budget for the costs associated with these filings and ensure they complete them promptly. They must also maintain records of these filings to provide as evidence to Aerus. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in legal issues or a breach of the franchise agreement.
