What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Deer Solution elects to directly collect the Gross Sales of a franchisee's Deer Solution Business, they will pre-deduct all fees and payments due to them, their affiliates, or their designated suppliers. The remaining balance will then be remitted to the franchisee.
This means that instead of the franchisee receiving the full Gross Sales amount and then paying royalties, brand development fund fees, and other fees separately, Deer Solution will take those fees directly from the Gross Sales before passing the remainder to the franchisee.
This process could simplify the franchisee's accounting and payment obligations, as Deer Solution handles the distribution of funds to the appropriate parties. However, it also means the franchisee will have less immediate control over the Gross Sales revenue, as a portion is automatically deducted by Deer Solution. Franchisees should ensure they understand all the fees that will be deducted and how this direct collection method will impact their cash flow management.
