What is the required method for a Crown Trophy franchisee to notify the franchisor of their intent to transfer?

The 2025 Crown Trophy FDD does not explicitly state the required method for a franchisee to notify the franchisor of their intent to transfer their franchise. However, it does state that the transferee must provide Crown Trophy with a copy of all agreements relating to the transfer of the franchise from the franchisee to the transferee before the transfer is finalized.

While the FDD does not specify the exact method of notification (e.g., written notice, certified mail), it emphasizes the importance of providing Crown Trophy with all transfer-related agreements. This suggests that any formal notification should include comprehensive documentation of the transfer terms.

A prospective Crown Trophy franchisee should clarify with the franchisor the specific procedures and preferred methods for providing notice of intent to transfer, ensuring compliance with all contractual obligations and facilitating a smooth transfer process. It would be prudent to ask Crown Trophy for clarification on the notification method and timing requirements during the due diligence process.
