What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee may incur a Reporting Non-Compliance fee of $150 per occurrence. This fee is charged if the franchisee fails to submit Royalty and Activity Reports, as well as other reports and financial statements, in a timely manner as required by the Franchise Agreement.
The fee is due within 14 days of the invoice date. This means that Deer Solution franchisees must ensure they submit all required reports and financial statements on time to avoid incurring this additional cost.
Franchisees should establish internal controls and reminders to ensure timely submission of all required documents. Failure to do so could result in repeated $150 charges, impacting the profitability of the Deer Solution franchise.
