What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Clear Pest Pros's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Initial Training fee is due and payable before the start of the training program. The Managing Owner and, if applicable, Designated General Manager, must successfully complete the JumpStart initial training program within two months of signing the Franchise Agreement, before attending Initial Training, and before the opening of the Clear Pest Pros Business.
Clear Pest Pros may waive the franchisee's attendance at the Initial Training if the franchisee already operates a Clear Pest Pros Business and purchases an additional franchise. Before operating the Clear Pest Pros Business, Clear Pest Pros will furnish business manager and technical operations training (the "Initial Training") to the Managing Owner and, if applicable, the Designated General Manager, at no additional fee.
The Initial Training may not commence until the franchisee has paid all fees due to Clear Pest Pros and must be completed within four months of the effective date of the agreement. The franchisee will be responsible for all travel and living expenses that they and their employees/owners incur for this Initial Training.
