What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Clean Your Dirty Face's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor is not responsible for arranging the transfer between parties. The FDD states that the franchisee and the new owner negotiate the transfer without the involvement of Clean Your Dirty Face. The franchisor's only role is to approve or deny the transfer.
This means that a Clean Your Dirty Face franchisee who wishes to sell their franchise must find a buyer and negotiate the terms of the sale independently. Clean Your Dirty Face does not assist in this process. This is a common arrangement in franchising, as the franchisor typically wants to ensure that any new franchisee meets their standards and is a good fit for the system, but they do not want to be involved in the financial negotiations between the buyer and seller.
However, Clean Your Dirty Face does have certain conditions that must be met before they will approve a transfer. For example, the transferring franchisee must not have violated the original agreement, must have paid all amounts owed to Clean Your Dirty Face, and must have corrected any existing deficiencies at the Clean Your Dirty Face Facial Bar. The buyer must also sign Clean Your Dirty Face's current franchise agreement and complete the training program. Additionally, the transferring franchisee must pay Clean Your Dirty Face a transfer fee of $25,000.
