What sections of the Expense Reduction Analysts Franchise Agreement address noncompetition covenants?

According to the 2025 Expense Reduction Analysts Franchise Disclosure Document, noncompetition covenants are addressed in Sections 11.13 and 27.6 of the Franchise Agreement. These sections are further detailed in Item 17 of the FDD.

Non-competition covenants are standard in franchising to protect the brand and business model. Section 11.13 likely covers non-competition during the term of the franchise agreement, preventing a franchisee from engaging in competing activities while still operating as an Expense Reduction Analysts franchisee. Section 27.6 likely addresses post-termination non-competition, which restricts a former franchisee from competing with Expense Reduction Analysts for a certain period and within a specific geographic area after the franchise agreement ends.

Item 17 of the FDD, as referenced, provides more specific details about these restrictions, including the scope of activities considered competitive, the duration of the non-compete period, and the geographic area covered. Prospective franchisees should carefully review Item 17 and Sections 11.13 and 27.6 of the Franchise Agreement to fully understand the limitations and obligations regarding non-competition both during and after the franchise term.
