What roles must an Aerus franchisee designate and retain individuals to serve in?

Based on the 2025 Aerus Franchise Disclosure Document, if the franchisee is a business entity, the individual executing the agreement on behalf of the franchisee must be duly authorized to do so. This individual must have the appropriate authority to bind the franchisee to the terms of the agreement. Furthermore, this individual must be an active, full-time participant in the daily operations of the Aerus Franchised Business.

This requirement ensures that there is an individual who is fully invested in and responsible for the Aerus franchise's performance. It also provides Aerus with a direct point of contact who is knowledgeable about the business's operations and authorized to make decisions on its behalf. This individual's active participation helps maintain the standards and practices of the Aerus system.

For prospective franchisees, this means that if you plan to operate your Aerus franchise through a corporation, LLC, or other business entity, you must designate an individual to fulfill this role. This person should be prepared to be actively involved in the business and have the authority to make decisions. Aerus requires this to ensure the proper management and operation of the franchise, aligning with common franchising practices that emphasize active owner-operators.
