What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial franchise fee is paid to the franchisor, referred to as "Us" in the document. For a single territory, this fee is $49,500 and is due when the Franchise Agreement is signed.
For franchisees acquiring multiple territories, the initial franchise fee varies. It ranges from $64,500 for two territories up to $214,500 for twelve territories. This fee is also paid when the Franchise Agreement is signed, along with a Multi-Franchise Addendum.
It is important to note that Deer Solution does not offer financing for any part of the initial investment, and all fees are non-refundable. This means prospective franchisees must have the full amount of the initial franchise fee available at the time of signing the agreement.
