Does All States M.E.D. provide assistance with obtaining required permits?

According to All States M.E.D.'s 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, All States M.E.D. offers limited assistance to franchisees in obtaining required permits. Specifically, All States M.E.D. provides limited assistance to help the franchisee or their contractor conform the premises to local ordinances and building codes and obtain any required permits. They also offer limited assistance to help the franchisee or their contractor construct, remodel, or decorate the premises.

This assistance is provided before the franchisee opens their All States M.E.D. franchised business. However, the franchisee is ultimately responsible for ensuring the premises comply with all local ordinances and building codes and for obtaining all necessary permits.

Prospective franchisees should note that this assistance is described as "limited," suggesting that All States M.E.D.'s role is primarily advisory. Franchisees should be prepared to manage the permitting process themselves or hire a contractor to do so. It is important for prospective franchisees to clarify the extent of this assistance with All States M.E.D. during their due diligence to fully understand their responsibilities.
