Does the Amorino Guaranty continue if the franchise agreement is extended?

According to Amorino's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if you decide to renew your franchise agreement, you must ensure that anyone who has guaranteed your obligations under the initial agreement signs a renewal or reaffirmation of that guarantee. This renewal or reaffirmation must be in a form that Amorino finds satisfactory and must be completed no later than 30 days before the current term expires.

This requirement ensures that Amorino continues to have the same level of security for your obligations throughout the renewal term. Essentially, the guarantor's commitment needs to be formally extended to match the extended franchise agreement. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as it protects the franchisor's interests over the long term.

For a prospective Amorino franchisee, this means that if someone—perhaps a family member or business partner—has provided a personal guarantee for your initial franchise agreement, you'll need their cooperation again when you renew. Make sure to factor in the administrative steps and potential legal review needed to complete this process within the specified timeframe to avoid any complications with your renewal.
