What evidence is required to show that a Dryer Vent Squad franchisee has secured an administrative office?

According to the 2024 Dryer Vent Squad FDD, a franchisee's administrative office must be located within their operating territory and approved by Dryer Vent Squad. The FDD does not specify the exact documentation or evidence required to demonstrate that a franchisee has secured an administrative office.

However, the FDD does state that the franchisee's administrative office refers to the Dryer Vent Squad Administrative Office from which the franchisee establishes, operates, and manages the franchised business. The franchisor also retains the right to ensure that a former Dryer Vent Squad Administrative Office has been completely de-identified and differentiated from its former appearance to prevent any confusion by the public.

Therefore, while the FDD does not explicitly list required documents, it is implied that Dryer Vent Squad needs to approve the location. A prospective franchisee should ask Dryer Vent Squad what specific documents or information they require to demonstrate that the franchisee has secured an administrative office within the operating territory. This could include a lease agreement, proof of ownership, or other documentation deemed necessary by the franchisor.
