How are spousal interests treated when determining ownership in a Buildingstars franchise?

According to Buildingstars's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, when determining ownership in a franchise, the interests owned by a husband and wife are considered as one interest. This means that Buildingstars treats a married couple as a single entity for ownership purposes, regardless of whether the franchise interest is held by one spouse or both.

Both the husband and wife are obligated under the Franchise Agreement. This obligation applies whether the interest is legally owned by just one spouse or by both spouses jointly. This ensures that Buildingstars can hold both parties accountable for the franchise's performance and adherence to the agreement terms.

This policy simplifies the ownership structure from Buildingstars's perspective, avoiding potential complications that could arise from separately considering each spouse's interest. It also ensures that both spouses are equally responsible for upholding the terms of the franchise agreement, regardless of how their ownership is formally structured.
