What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the description of the territory where you may operate your All County business is found in Appendix B of the Franchise Agreement. Section 7.1 of the agreement also specifies that your business location must be within your designated territory.
While All County grants you a territory, it's not entirely exclusive. No other All County business office will be physically located in your territory, and other franchisees are restricted from conducting direct marketing, such as direct mail campaigns or physically visiting real estate offices, within your territory to solicit referrals. However, All County retains the right to allow other franchisees to manage properties, place "For Rent" signs, and conduct radio or television advertising that may reach your territory.
Furthermore, All County, its affiliates, or other franchisees can provide services to customer accounts located inside your territory, and you won't be compensated for these services. You, All County, or other franchisees can also provide services to customer accounts outside your territory, but you need written permission to service accounts more than 50 miles from your location. All County may also engage in national and regional account relationships, even if their offices are located within your territory.
