What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to the 2025 Augusta Lawn Care Franchise Disclosure Document, you are not explicitly required to confirm that you reviewed the franchise documents with a lawyer, accountant, or other professional advisor. However, the FDD includes a table where you must acknowledge whether you have reviewed the Franchise Disclosure Document and Franchise Agreement with an advisor, or if you had the opportunity to do so and chose not to.

This acknowledgement is part of a broader set of confirmations where you also affirm that you received and reviewed the Franchise Agreement and FDD, understand the information within them, and are aware of the risks involved in operating an Augusta Lawn Care business. You also confirm that no employee of Augusta Lawn Care made promises about costs, profits, or earnings that are not included in the FDD.

While not mandatory, Augusta Lawn Care encourages you to seek professional advice. By acknowledging whether or not you consulted with an advisor, you are confirming that you made an informed decision, which can be important for your own protection and understanding of the franchise agreement.
