What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dq Treat's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 5 transfers of direct-licensed outlets in Michigan during 2024. This information is based on the table that tracks the transfer of outlets from franchisees to new owners, excluding transfers to the franchisor itself.
This data point is relevant for prospective franchisees as it provides insight into the resale activity within the Dq Treat system. A higher number of transfers might indicate a more liquid market for existing franchises, potentially making it easier to exit the business if desired. Conversely, a very high number could also signal underlying issues with franchise profitability or franchisee satisfaction, warranting further investigation.
It's important to note that this transfer data pertains specifically to direct-licensed outlets and does not include information from subfranchised locations. Additionally, the FDD specifies that states not listed in the provided tables had no transfer activity of the kind described, so the absence of a state from the table can also be informative.
