What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee wishes to transfer their franchise, Dryject must be provided with all information about the proposed transferee that Dryject may reasonably require.
Dryject's consent to a transfer is a subjective determination, considering factors such as whether the transferee assumes all obligations under the franchise agreement, has paid all debts to Dryject and its affiliates, and is not in default under any franchise agreement. Dryject also considers whether the transferee operates a similar business (excluding other Dryject franchisees) and meets Dryject's requirements for new franchisees. These requirements include good reputation and character, experience, business acumen, operational ability, financial strength and stability, and the willingness and ability to devote full time and best efforts to the operation of the Franchised Business.
Dryject also has the right to approve the material terms and conditions of the transfer, ensuring that the price and payment terms do not adversely affect the transferee's operation of the business. The transferee must execute Dryject's current standard franchise agreement and other ancillary agreements. The transferring franchisee must execute a general release of claims against Dryject and its affiliates and pay a non-refundable Transfer Fee equal to forty percent (40%) of the then-current Initial Franchise Fee. If the transferring franchisee provides financing to the transferee, these obligations must be subordinate to the transferee's obligations to Dryject.
