What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deck Medic's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Deck Medic does not make any representations about a franchisee's future financial performance, nor do they authorize employees or representatives to do so. If you are considering purchasing an existing outlet, Deck Medic may provide the actual records of that outlet.
However, if you receive any other financial performance information or projections of your future income, you should report it to several parties. First, contact Deck Medic's management, specifically Jeff Konopack at Deck Medic, Inc., located at 966 Lambrecht Road, Frankfort, Illinois 60423. You can reach him by phone at (800) 992-1202 or (708) 670-9140.
In addition to reporting to Deck Medic's management, you should also report the unauthorized financial performance information to the Federal Trade Commission, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies. This ensures that these agencies are aware of any potentially misleading or unauthorized representations being made during the franchise sales process. By reporting such information, you protect yourself and other potential franchisees from potentially inaccurate or misleading financial projections.
