Who must sign the Guaranty Agreement for a Mr. Sandless franchise operated through a limited liability company?

According to the 2025 Mr. Sandless Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee operates their Mr. Sandless business through a limited liability company, all members and managers of that LLC are required to sign the Guaranty Agreement. By signing this agreement, they personally agree to be bound by the terms of the Franchise Agreement and guarantee the performance of all the franchisee's obligations under the agreement.

This requirement ensures that Mr. Sandless has recourse to the personal assets of the individuals controlling the franchisee entity, not just the assets of the LLC itself. This is a common practice in franchising, as it provides the franchisor with added security and demonstrates the commitment of the LLC's members and managers to the success of the Mr. Sandless business.

For a prospective Mr. Sandless franchisee, this means that if they choose to operate as an LLC, they must be prepared for all members and managers to take on personal liability for the franchise's obligations. This is a significant consideration when deciding on the business structure for the franchise. Franchisees should carefully review the Guaranty Agreement and understand its implications before signing.
