Lightspeed Restoration offers territory protection to its franchisees through a clearly defined “Protected Territory” agreement. This territory is specified in the Franchise Agreement and disclosed to the franchisee before signing, ensuring that the franchisee has exclusive operational rights within that area.
The Protected Territory typically requires the franchisee to establish a commercial office/warehouse within 180 days of signing the agreement, subject to the franchisor’s approval based on specific criteria.
While Lightspeed Restoration provides this territory protection, it does not guarantee exclusivity against competition from non-franchised businesses or digital channels that may reach into the territory.
