What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee's Deer Solution business is not being managed by a Franchisor-approved Managing Owner within 30 days after the death or permanent disability of the previous manager, Deer Solution is authorized to appoint a manager to maintain operations on behalf of the franchisee.
Deer Solution has the right to charge a reasonable fee for these management services and may stop providing these services at any time. The FDD does not specify how this "reasonable fee" is calculated or what factors are considered in determining the amount.
Prospective franchisees should inquire with Deer Solution about the typical range of these management service fees, how they are determined, and under what circumstances Deer Solution might cease providing management services. Understanding these potential costs and conditions is crucial for assessing the overall financial viability and operational risks of the franchise.
