What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Clear Pest Pros's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Additional Training fee of $2,000 per person is due prior to scheduling Clear Pest Pros staff to visit the franchisee's location. This fee is payable whether the franchisee requests the additional training or if Clear Pest Pros determines, in its sole discretion, that the franchisee's work performance requires additional training. Clear Pest Pros also reserves the right to increase this fee in accordance with the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
This means that if Clear Pest Pros deems additional training necessary, franchisees must pay $2,000 per person before the training is scheduled, regardless of whether they requested it. This could be a significant and unexpected expense for franchisees if their performance is not up to Clear Pest Pros' standards.
Franchisees should be aware that this fee can increase over time based on the CPI, potentially adding to the cost of required training. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand the circumstances under which Clear Pest Pros might require additional training and to factor this potential cost into their financial planning. Understanding the criteria Clear Pest Pros uses to assess performance and determine the need for additional training is crucial for managing this expense.
