What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bor Restoration's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a Guarantor may be involved in the franchise agreement. The document includes a 'Guaranty of Franchisee's Obligations,' which is an agreement between Bor Franchising, LLC (the Franchisor), the Franchisee, and the Guarantor(s). The Guarantor(s) agree to fully guarantee the payment and performance of the Franchisee under the Franchise Agreement as an inducement to the Franchisor for granting the franchise rights.
The Guarantor(s) guarantee that the Franchisee will timely pay any amount required by the Franchise Agreement and will perform every undertaking, agreement, and covenant under the Franchise Agreement for the term of the agreement. The Guarantor(s) also agree to be personally bound by every term of the Franchise Agreement and liable for any breach of the agreement. Furthermore, the Guarantor(s) agree to be subject to all restrictive covenants in the Franchise Agreement.
The inclusion of a Guarantor suggests that in some Bor Restoration franchise agreements, a third party (the Guarantor) provides a guarantee to the Franchisor that the Franchisee will meet their financial and operational obligations. This might be required if the Franchisee has limited credit history or assets. The General Release also mentions the Guarantor guaranteeing the performance of the Franchisee under the Franchise Agreement, indicating their role in ensuring the Franchisee fulfills their obligations.
