What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Deer Solution Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee transfers their Deer Solution business, the transferee is responsible for upgrading the Administrative Office to meet the current standards. The deadline for completing these upgrades is determined by Deer Solution, with the specific timeframe being what Deer Solution "reasonably specifies."
This means a prospective Deer Solution franchisee who is considering purchasing an existing franchise should be prepared to invest in these potential upgrades. The cost and extent of these upgrades will depend on how closely the existing office aligns with Deer Solution's current standards at the time of the transfer.
Since the completion deadline is set at Deer Solution's discretion, it is important for a potential transferee to discuss the expected timeline and required improvements with Deer Solution during the transfer process. This will help in assessing the feasibility and cost implications of the transfer.
