What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Stretch Zone's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the security interest does cover current obligations. The security interest obtained by Stretch Zone secures the payment and performance of all debts, obligations, and liabilities the franchisee owes to Stretch Zone. This includes any obligations that currently exist or may arise later.
This means that Stretch Zone's security interest is not limited to only future debts or obligations. It extends to any existing financial responsibilities or liabilities the franchisee has to Stretch Zone at the time the security interest is established. This could include unpaid franchise fees, outstanding balances for products or services, or any other form of debt owed to Stretch Zone.
For a prospective Stretch Zone franchisee, this implies that any existing financial obligations to Stretch Zone will be covered by the security interest. Therefore, it is crucial for franchisees to understand the full scope of their financial responsibilities and liabilities to Stretch Zone, both present and future, as these will be secured by the security interest.
