What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deck Medic's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the transfer of the franchise business, the lease for the franchisee's non-residential administrative office (if applicable), and the assets of the franchised business must occur together with the transfer of the Franchise Agreement. This transfer is subject to Deck Medic's approval and must comply with the terms outlined in the agreement.
This requirement ensures that when a franchisee sells their Deck Medic business, all essential components necessary for its operation are transferred as a package. This includes not only the rights and obligations under the Franchise Agreement but also the physical location (if a non-residential administrative office exists) and the tangible assets used in the business.
For a prospective Deck Medic franchisee, this means that selling the business involves more than just transferring the franchise rights. It requires a comprehensive transfer of all related business elements, which must be approved by Deck Medic. This provision aims to maintain the integrity and continuity of the Deck Medic brand and operational standards when a franchise changes hands.
