What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dq Treat FDD, neither ADQ nor its affiliates offer leasehold financing services to franchisees. Dq Treat franchisees are responsible for securing their own financing through third-party lenders to establish their franchised business.
ADQ may periodically arrange for third-party finance companies or banks to offer financing programs to Dq Treat franchisees. However, these arrangements are limited to simply connecting franchisees with potential financing sources. The financial institutions offering the financing independently determine the amount, terms, interest rate, and duration of any financing offered.
ADQ and its affiliates do not receive any payments or compensation for referring franchisees to these financing sources. Ultimately, it is the franchisee's responsibility to find and secure the necessary financing for their Dq Treat business on terms they can arrange.
