What This Means (2025 FDD)
The 2025 Aerus Franchise Disclosure Document states that if the franchisee is a business entity, the individual executing the agreement must be duly authorized to do so. This individual must have the appropriate authority to bind the franchisee under the agreement and be an active, full-time participant in the daily operations of the Aerus Franchised Business.
This requirement ensures that Aerus has a direct point of contact who is fully engaged in the business's operations and authorized to make decisions on behalf of the franchisee. It also helps to maintain consistency and accountability within the franchise system, as the designated individual is responsible for ensuring compliance with the franchise agreement.
For prospective franchisees, this means that if you are operating as a 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 needs to review and approve the documents that authorize the person who will be executing the agreement.
While Aerus dictates that the franchisee must have someone in this role, it does not explicitly state what the title of this person should be. It is important to note that Aerus may from time to time set minimum staffing requirements in the manuals.
