What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Expense Reduction Analysts Franchise Disclosure Document, the agreement is made between Expense Reduction Analysts, the franchisee, and the guarantor. The receipt indicates that in addition to the franchisee, a guarantor may also be required to sign the agreement.
The FDD mentions that the agreement is between Expense Reduction Analysts, referred to as "ERA", "Franchisor", "Us", "Our" or "We", and the franchisee, referred to as "You" or "Your". Additionally, it includes a third party described as "Guarantor".
This means that if a guarantor is involved in the franchise agreement, their signature would also be required. A guarantor is typically someone who agrees to be responsible for the franchisee's obligations, such as financial commitments, if the franchisee fails to meet them. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, especially when the franchisee is a new business or has limited financial history. Prospective franchisees should clarify with Expense Reduction Analysts whether a guarantor is required in their specific circumstances and who qualifies as an acceptable guarantor.
