Who must approve the statements and reports required by the Deer Solution Advertising Cooperative?

According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor must approve the statements and reports that franchisees submit to the Advertising Cooperative. Franchisees are required to submit statements and reports to both the Advertising Cooperative and Deer Solution.

This means that while the Advertising Cooperative may set requirements for statements and reports, Deer Solution retains ultimate control over the content and format of these documents. This ensures that all marketing and advertising activities align with the brand's overall strategy and standards.

For a prospective Deer Solution franchisee, this highlights the importance of understanding the franchisor's requirements for financial reporting and marketing transparency. Franchisees should clarify what specific information must be included in these statements and reports and how frequently they must be submitted to ensure compliance with both the Advertising Cooperative and Deer Solution's standards.
