What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 Aerus Franchise Disclosure Document, Aerus grants licenses and rights to third parties under two franchise programs: the standard franchise program and the associate franchise program. Both programs involve offering and selling proprietary products, utilizing proprietary marks, and using elements of the proprietary system as determined by Aerus.

Aerus also grants qualified franchisees in both the Standard and Associate programs the right to sell "Beyond Products" through an addendum to their franchise agreement. These "Beyond Products" are marketed and sold under the "Beyond" or "Beyond by Aerus" trademarks.

Aerus retains the right to establish additional franchise programs for the sale of products using the Marks and System. Aerus can also cease granting licenses and rights under one or more of the existing franchise programs, or even discontinue all franchise programs entirely. This provides Aerus with flexibility in how they choose to expand or modify their franchise offerings in the future.
