What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Closet Storage Concepts' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must register their assumed business name with the county office where their franchised business is located. Alternatively, they can register at another public office as dictated by the laws of the state where the business operates.
Before using any corporate or fictitious name, a Closet Storage Concepts franchisee must obtain written approval from the franchisor. The franchisee can then use their corporate name alone, or they can follow it with "D/B/A" and the business name of Closet & Storage Concepts.
This registration requirement ensures that the franchisee is operating legally under their chosen business name and that the public can identify the business's ownership. It also allows Closet Storage Concepts to maintain brand consistency and control over how its name is used in different locations.
