What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Desi District's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to submit periodic financial reports to Desi District Franchise Group. These reports include a monthly profit and loss statement and balance sheet for the business, which must be submitted within 30 days after the end of each calendar month. This allows Desi District to monitor the financial health and performance of each franchise unit on a regular basis.
In addition to the monthly reports, Desi District franchisees must also provide an annual financial statement. This annual statement should include a profit and loss statement, a cash flow statement, and a balance sheet for the business. This report is due within 90 days after the end of Desi District Franchise Group's fiscal year, giving franchisees a longer period to compile and submit the more comprehensive annual data.
Furthermore, Desi District franchisees are obligated to provide any information that Desi District Franchise Group requests in order to prepare a financial performance representation for its Franchise Disclosure Document. This ensures that Desi District has the necessary data to accurately represent the financial performance of its franchises to potential franchisees, and that the prospective franchisee is able to make an informed decision.
