Your right to relocate your Deer Solution Business and, thereby, your Operating Territory is not guaranteed and approval of a relocation request by you is completely at our discretion. We evaluate relocation requests on a case-by-case basis and consider factors such as operational history, the location of your Operating Territory, our expansion plans, and other factors that, at the time of a relocation request, are relevant to us.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee's right to relocate their Deer Solution business and Operating Territory is not guaranteed. The FDD states that any relocation request is subject to Deer Solution's approval, which is at their complete discretion. Deer Solution evaluates these requests on a case-by-case basis.
When considering a relocation, Deer Solution will assess factors such as the franchisee's operational history, the current location of the Operating Territory, and Deer Solution's expansion plans. They will also consider any other factors that are relevant to them at the time of the relocation request.
This lack of guarantee means that a Deer Solution franchisee may not be able to move their business to a more desirable or profitable location, even if they believe it would benefit their business. This is a significant risk for potential franchisees, as their ability to adapt to changing market conditions or personal circumstances may be limited by Deer Solution's relocation policies. It is important for prospective franchisees to carefully consider this factor and discuss it with Deer Solution before signing the Franchise Agreement.
