What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Deer Solution Franchise Disclosure Document, Deer Solution will not make any lease guaranties on behalf of a franchisee. The FDD states that Deer Solution and the franchisee will not make any agreements, guaranties, or representations on behalf of the other.
This means that prospective Deer Solution franchisees are solely responsible for securing their own leases and other legal obligations without any guarantee or co-signing from the franchisor. This is a common practice in franchising, as franchisors typically want to avoid assuming the financial liabilities of their franchisees.
Furthermore, the franchisee must identify themselves as the owner of a Deer Solution franchise and must not employ any licensed mark in signing any lease. This reinforces the separation between the franchisor and franchisee and ensures that Deer Solution is not held liable for the franchisee's obligations.
