Franchise transfers typically involve an existing franchisee selling their business to a new owner, subject to the franchisor's approval. The number of transfers can be an indicator of franchisee satisfaction, business profitability, or other factors influencing ownership changes. A low number of transfers could suggest stability within the franchise system, while a high number might warrant further investigation into the reasons behind the changes.

Prospective franchisees should consider the transfer history as part of their due diligence. Understanding the reasons for past transfers, the financial performance of transferred units, and the franchisor's role in the transfer process can provide valuable insights. It is also important to note that the totals include franchised and company-owned Aerus Businesses operating in the United States and Canada.
