What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Itan's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a Governmental Authority suspends a license or permit that is required to operate the salon, it can lead to a receipt. This applies even if the franchisee or owner has appeal rights.
This means that Itan has the right to take certain actions if the franchisee's ability to operate legally is compromised due to a suspended or revoked license. The franchisee's rights to operate the salon can be impacted even if they are in the process of appealing the suspension or revocation.
It is important for a prospective Itan franchisee to understand the licensing and permit requirements in their specific location and to maintain compliance to avoid potential disruptions to their business. Franchisees should also clarify with Itan what specific actions Itan might take in the event of a license suspension or revocation, and what options the franchisee has to remedy the situation.
