What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee's administrative office must be located within the operating territory and be approved by Deer Solution. The FDD does not explicitly state that a franchisee can designate their personal residence as their administrative office. However, it does state that "Franchisee's Administrative Office" refers to and means the Deer Solution Administrative Office from which Franchisee establishes, operates, and manages the Franchised Business."
Given this definition, it is possible that a personal residence could be used as an administrative office if it meets Deer Solution's approval and is located within the franchisee's operating territory. The FDD emphasizes that the franchisee must operate the Deer Solution business from an approved administrative office within their designated operating territory.
Prospective franchisees should directly inquire with Deer Solution about the specific requirements and conditions for administrative office approval, including whether a personal residence can qualify. Understanding these requirements is crucial for setting up the business and ensuring compliance with Deer Solution's standards.
