What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Amorino will not unreasonably withhold consent to a transfer of any interest in the Franchised Business. However, Amorino may condition such consent, using its sole discretion, on the satisfaction of certain requirements.
These conditions include ensuring that all monetary obligations to Amorino and its affiliates are current and fully paid. This protects Amorino's financial interests by ensuring the franchisee is in good standing before transferring the business.
This clause provides some reassurance to prospective franchisees that Amorino will not arbitrarily deny a transfer request. However, the ability to condition consent gives Amorino significant control over the transfer process, ensuring that the new franchisee meets their standards and that all outstanding obligations are settled.
