What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Crowne Plaza FDD, as an applicant, you are required to submit a resume. Additionally, if applicable, the resume of the person in charge of the development process and the resume of the person in charge of your hotel if other than the General Manager is required.
Crowne Plaza also requires each sole proprietor, general manager, managing tenant in common, and major owner/shareholder (owners/shareholders owning beneficially 25% or more of the stock) of the proposed licensee and any individual/entity who will serve as an additional guarantor of the proposed license to submit a Personal Financial Statement with the application. This statement should include a list of all hotels/motels in which the individual has an interest, indicating the facility name, location, and the nature and percentage of the individual's interest.
These requirements ensure that Crowne Plaza has comprehensive information about the applicant's background, experience, and financial stability. This information helps Crowne Plaza assess the applicant's suitability to operate a franchise and maintain the brand's standards. Applicants should carefully prepare these documents to present themselves in the best possible light and demonstrate their qualifications for the franchise opportunity.
