What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Exit's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee must operate the Exit franchise business solely from the designated office. However, Exit may provide written consent allowing the franchisee to use the premises for other purposes or activities.
Specifically, the FDD states that the franchisee must use their office solely for the operation of an Exit franchise. The franchisee is prohibited from using or permitting the use of the premises for any other purpose or activities at any time without first obtaining written consent from Exit.
This restriction ensures that the Exit brand and system are consistently presented and that the franchisee's focus remains on the core real estate services offered by Exit. However, the possibility of obtaining written consent allows for some flexibility if the franchisee wishes to explore complementary business activities within the same location, subject to Exit's approval.
