What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deck Medic's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Managing Owner, who is responsible for the daily management of the Deck Medic franchise, must obtain all required licenses and permits necessary to operate the business within their operating territory. The specific licenses and permits will vary based on local, municipal, county, and state regulations.
Deck Medic requires that the Managing Owner has satisfactorily completed the initial training program and secured all necessary licenses and permits to operate the business within their designated territory. The franchisee is responsible for consulting with government agencies, architects, and legal professionals to ensure the chosen site permits the establishment and operation of the franchised business and that they possess the necessary licenses and authority to operate the business.
Prior to opening, a Deck Medic franchisee must complete the initial training, obtain the necessary licensing and authorization from state and regulatory agencies within their Operating Territory, and provide written proof of the required insurance. The franchisee must open and offer services and products of their Deck Medic Business to customers within their Operating Territory within 120 days from signing the Franchise Agreement. The estimated time between signing the Franchise Agreement and opening the Deck Medic Business is one to three months, influenced by factors such as completing the training program, securing financing, obtaining licenses, training staff, and acquiring a service vehicle.
