Eos_Worldwide Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
You must sign our form of Franchise Agreement ("Franchise Agreement"), in the form attached to this Disclosure Document as Exhibit A. If you operate your franchise using a legal entity, then your entity (the "Operating Entity" or as referred to in the Franchise Agreement, your "Business Entity") must either sign the Franchise Agreement or otherwise agree to abide by the terms of the Franchise Agreement by signing our form of Joinder to Franchise Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit C to the Franchise Agreement. An Operating Entity may have multiple owners, equity holders, shareholders, partners or members, but you must act as the sole decisionmaker and point person for the Operating Entity and only you may provide EOS Services to Clients as the "EOS Implementer" (or "Implementer") and therefore only you may attend our Implementer trainings. If you use an Operating Entity for your Franchised Business, you must own and control the Operating Entity (with at least a 51% ownership interest unless we permit otherwise). You may also determine that you want or need additional operators, managers, employees, personnel or administrative staff to assist you in operating the Franchised Business, but these individuals may not provide functions required by an Implementer, including providing any Clients with implementation Services as described in the Operations Manual ("Implementer Services").

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Eos Worldwide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the form of Joinder to Franchise Agreement is included as Exhibit C to the Franchise Agreement. The FDD states that if a franchisee operates their franchise using a legal entity, that entity must either sign the Franchise Agreement or agree to abide by its terms by signing the Joinder to Franchise Agreement. This agreement ensures that the operating entity acknowledges and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Franchise Agreement, even if the individual franchisee is not directly operating as a sole proprietor.
This requirement is common in franchising, as franchisors often want to ensure that any business entity used by the franchisee is also legally bound to uphold the franchise agreement. This protects the Eos Worldwide brand and system standards, regardless of the franchisee's business structure. The franchisee must act as the sole decision-maker and point person for the Operating Entity and must maintain at least a 51% ownership interest in the Operating Entity unless Eos Worldwide permits otherwise.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review Exhibit C to understand the obligations and responsibilities the operating entity will assume by signing the Joinder to Franchise Agreement. It is also important to note that while additional operators, managers, employees, personnel or administrative staff may be hired to assist in operating the Franchised Business, these individuals may not provide functions required by an Implementer, including providing any Clients with implementation Services as described in the Operations Manual.
