What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must notify All County 30 days in advance of any change in the identity of the Managing Owner. The Managing Owner is the individual with the authority to legally bind the franchisee in dealings with All County and to ensure compliance with the franchise agreement.
However, there are exceptions to this 30-day notice. If the change in Managing Owner results from death or incapacity, the franchisee must immediately notify All County of the death or incapacity. Following this immediate notification, the franchisee has 60 days to appoint a new Managing Owner.
All County retains the right to review and disapprove any newly appointed Managing Owner within 10 days of receiving notice of the appointment. They also reserve the right to review and approve the authority of the Managing Owner as it relates to the franchisee's organizational documents, such as Articles of Organization or Operating Agreements. This ensures that the designated Managing Owner has the appropriate authority and control over the All County business.
