What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to procure System Supplies from specific sources. A Deer Solution franchisee must purchase the System Supplies from Deer Solution, its affiliates, or its designated suppliers.
This requirement ensures that all franchisees use products that meet Deer Solution's standards, maintaining consistency across the brand. It also allows Deer Solution to control the quality of supplies used in the business.
While this restriction limits a franchisee's choice of suppliers, it also streamlines the procurement process. Franchisees do not have to independently research and vet suppliers, as Deer Solution has already done so. However, franchisees should be aware that Deer Solution or its affiliates may benefit financially from these designated supplier relationships.
Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these restrictions and evaluate whether the convenience and quality control outweigh the potential limitations on sourcing and cost negotiation. Understanding the specific System Supplies required and their associated costs is crucial for assessing the financial viability of a Deer Solution franchise.
