What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Clear Pest Pros' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there is no specific time limit outlined for Clear Pest Pros to approve a franchisee's business site. However, the FDD states that Clear Pest Pros' approval of a site will not be unreasonably delayed.
Site approval is contingent on several factors that Clear Pest Pros will consider, including the site's size, condition, orientation within the territory, co-tenants, and traffic patterns. The business site, whether a commercial location or home office, must be located within the designated territory.
Prospective franchisees should note that failure to select a site and open the Clear Pest Pros business within the prescribed time period constitutes a default of the franchise agreement, which may result in termination of the agreement. Item 11.3 states that the estimated time between signing the Franchise Agreement and opening the Clear Pest Pros Business is approximately 90 to 120 days. Franchisees must commence operation within four months of signing the Franchise Agreement or Clear Pest Pros may terminate the agreement.
