What training is required for the transferee of an Itan area development agreement?

According to Itan's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if you wish to transfer your area development agreement, the potential transferee's owners must successfully complete, or make arrangements to attend, the initial training program. The transferee is also responsible for paying any applicable training fee.

This requirement ensures that anyone taking over an Itan area development agreement has the knowledge and skills necessary to uphold Itan's brand standards and operate the business effectively. It also protects Itan by ensuring that new area developers are properly trained in the Itan system.

It's important to note that Itan will not unreasonably withhold approval of a transfer if the transferee meets certain conditions, including having sufficient business experience, aptitude, and financial resources. The transfer also requires paying a $10,000 transfer fee and signing Itan's current area development agreement.
