What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Learningrx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if the franchisor's consent is required for any transfer of ownership, whether full or partial, Learningrx will not unreasonably withhold such consent. This implies that Learningrx cannot refuse a transfer of ownership without a reasonable basis. This protection is particularly relevant for prospective franchisees in Michigan.
However, the FDD also includes an addendum that states that if you are a franchisee in Michigan, do not answer questions 4 or 11-15 on the New Franchisee Disclosure Questionnaire, as such questions are not applicable to you.
To fully understand the conditions under which Learningrx can refuse a transfer of ownership in Michigan, a prospective franchisee should consult with a franchise attorney to ensure full compliance with Michigan state laws and to understand what constitutes "reasonable cause" for refusal.
