What This Means (2025 FDD)

Based on the 2025 DryJect Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee is a business entity, the Operating Principal must have the authority to develop, own, operate, and maintain the DryJect Franchised Business. The business entity's stated purpose must consist only of these activities.

This requirement ensures that the business entity is solely focused on the DryJect franchise and does not engage in other business activities that could distract from or compete with the franchise. It also maintains the integrity and consistency of the DryJect brand and operations.

Furthermore, the franchisee cannot issue additional stock, membership, or interests in the entity, and no individual with ownership interest can transfer, assign, or pledge any ownership interest without DryJect's prior written consent. This restriction helps DryJect control who has ownership in its franchises and prevents unwanted or unqualified individuals from gaining control. A legend setting forth such restriction on transfers must be contained in the business entity's organizational and governing documents and other appropriate documents such as certificates and stocks. DryJect has the right to withhold consent, ensuring they can maintain standards and protect their system.
