What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Chem Dry's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Chem Dry has the option to purchase your Chem Dry business under specific circumstances related to your death or permanent incapacity.
Specifically, Chem Dry has the option to purchase your business upon notification of your death or permanent incapacity, or within 6 months thereafter. If Chem Dry does not exercise this option, your franchise or equity in the business entity must be assigned to an approved person within 6 months.
This provision ensures that in the event of unforeseen circumstances such as death or permanent incapacity, Chem Dry has the ability to maintain control over the franchise and ensure its continued operation under suitable management. For a prospective franchisee, this highlights the importance of having a succession plan or considering business insurance to address such possibilities.
