Can a Dryer Vent Squad Administrative Office be home-based?

According to the 2024 Dryer Vent Squad FDD, the Administrative Office is defined as the location from which the Dryer Vent Squad business is established, operated, and managed. The FDD defines "Administrative Office(s)" as the fixed administrative offices and/or facilities from which Dryer Vent Squad Businesses are established, operated and managed.

While the definition specifies that the Administrative Office is where the business operations are managed, it does not explicitly state whether this office can be home-based. The term "fixed administrative offices and/or facilities" suggests a dedicated space, but it does not preclude the possibility of this space being within a franchisee's home.

Prospective franchisees should seek clarification from Dryer Vent Squad regarding whether a home-based Administrative Office is permissible. This inquiry should cover any specific requirements or restrictions that may apply if a franchisee chooses to operate the Administrative Office from their residence.
