What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Crawlspace Medic's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, as part of the pre-opening obligations, Crawlspace Medic will review a franchisee's proposed lease. However, this review is limited to ensuring that the lease includes only those terms required by Crawlspace Medic itself.
This means that Crawlspace Medic will not provide a comprehensive review of the lease for the franchisee's benefit. The review is only to ensure the lease contains the provisions that Crawlspace Medic requires.
Therefore, it is crucial for prospective Crawlspace Medic franchisees to seek independent legal counsel to review the lease in its entirety, to protect their own interests and ensure that the lease terms are favorable and compliant with local laws.
