What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Crown Gold Exchange's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the time limit for Crown Gold Exchange to approve or disapprove a proposed site is 30 days. This 30-day period starts after the franchisee submits all required documents and information about the site to Crown Gold Exchange.
Site approval is a critical step for franchisees. The FDD specifies that if the franchisee and Crown Gold Exchange cannot agree on a site, the franchisee will be unable to fulfill their obligation to develop and open the franchise by the deadline stated in the franchise agreement. Failure to meet this deadline, without an agreed-upon extension, can result in the franchisee being in default, potentially leading to the termination of the franchise agreement.
Prospective franchisees should ensure they understand exactly what information and documents Crown Gold Exchange requires for site approval to avoid delays. They should also factor in this 30-day approval window when planning their timeline for opening the franchise. It is also important to note that Crown Gold Exchange does not select the site for the franchisee; the franchisee is responsible for site selection, subject to Crown Gold Exchange's approval.
