What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial franchise fee for a multi-territory franchise ranges from $64,500 to $214,500. This fee is paid in a lump sum.
The FDD specifies that this initial franchise fee is due when the Franchise Agreement is signed along with the Multi-Franchise Addendum. This means that a prospective franchisee must be prepared to pay the full initial franchise fee at the time of signing the agreement to secure the rights to multiple territories.
It is important for potential Deer Solution franchisees to understand the financial commitment required upfront for a multi-territory franchise. This up-front payment contrasts with the other initial investment costs, which are paid 'as incurred'.
