Several factors are considered when a franchisee requests to relocate. These include the franchisee's operational history, the current location of the operating territory, and Dryer Vent Squad's expansion plans. Other factors relevant to Dryer Vent Squad at the time of the relocation request will also be taken into account.
This policy means that a Dryer Vent Squad franchisee cannot assume they will be able to move their business to a different location, even if they believe it would be more profitable or better suited for their needs.

Prospective franchisees should carefully consider this lack of relocation guarantee and discuss it with Dryer Vent Squad to understand the criteria and likelihood of approval before signing the Franchise Agreement.
