To whom can a potential Clear Pest Pros franchisee disclose the confidential information?

According to Clear Pest Pros's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a potential franchisee can disclose confidential information to an attorney, accountant, or business consultant as part of their due diligence process. However, the franchisee must ensure that these professionals are informed of and comply with all the terms of the Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement.

This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as prospective franchisees often need to seek professional advice before making a final decision. The stipulation that these advisors must also comply with the confidentiality agreement is crucial. This protects Clear Pest Pros's sensitive business information from being leaked or misused by third parties during the evaluation phase.

The FDD also specifies that the franchisee must maintain the confidentiality of the information with the same degree of care they use to protect their own most confidential information. This highlights the importance Clear Pest Pros places on safeguarding its proprietary information and the responsibility it places on potential franchisees to do the same. If a potential franchisee does not move forward with purchasing a Clear Pest Pros business, they must return or destroy all confidential materials upon request.
