What is the condition regarding the price and terms of payment for a Deer Solution franchise transfer to be approved?

According to the 2025 Deer Solution Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor's approval of a franchise transfer depends on their assessment of the financial terms. Specifically, Deer Solution must determine, using their reasonable business judgment, that the price and terms of payment for the transfer are not so burdensome that they would negatively impact the future operations of the franchise under the new owner.

This condition protects Deer Solution by ensuring that the incoming franchisee is set up for success. If the transfer price is too high or the payment terms are too onerous, the new franchisee might struggle financially, which could harm the Deer Solution brand and system.

For a prospective Deer Solution franchisee looking to sell their business, this means they need to negotiate a transfer price and payment terms that are reasonable and justifiable. While they want to maximize their return on investment, they also need to ensure that the deal is attractive and sustainable for the buyer, to obtain franchisor approval. Failure to do so could result in Deer Solution blocking the transfer.
