What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Clear Pest Pros's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to maintain pollution insurance with a minimum coverage of $1,000,000. This insurance coverage must be maintained throughout the term of the Franchise Agreement.

Clear Pest Pros also mandates that franchisees comply with all state, county, local, and municipal insurance requirements, as well as any other insurance policies that Clear Pest Pros may require. The franchisor may periodically modify the minimum insurance limits to reflect changes in insurance standards, normal business practices, higher court awards, and other relevant circumstances. Franchisees should discuss their specific insurance needs with their insurance agent and financial advisor to determine if higher coverage is necessary.

It is important to note that if any lease or customer contract requires a higher insurance policy amount than the minimums specified by Clear Pest Pros, the franchisee must obtain the higher amount. Franchisees must ensure that all general liability insurance policies name Clear Pest Pros, BELFOR Franchise Group, LLC, BELFOR USA Group Inc., and their designated affiliates, employees, officers, and directors as additional insureds. These policies must not limit coverage if a claim is made by any of the Indemnified Parties and must provide indemnity for all obligations assumed by the franchisee.
