Resale
When it's time to sell, here's how it works.
A Polar Tint franchisee can sell to an approved buyer under the transfer conditions in FDD Item 17, subject to Polar Tint's consent and its right of first refusal to match the offer.
Can I sell my Polar Tint franchise?
Yes — subject to franchisor approval of the buyer per FDD Item 17.
Selling a Polar Tint franchise to an outside buyer requires the franchisor to approve the buyer (background check, capital qualification, training commitment) and follows a documented transfer process. Polar Tint maintains a Right of First Refusal — the franchisor can match any qualified outside offer. A transfer fee applies (FDD Item 6), and the buyer completes Polar Tint's initial training at the buyer's expense (FDD Item 17).
Timing depends on the franchisor's right-of-first-refusal review and the other transfer conditions in FDD Item 17.

How a Polar Tint resale works
The 4-step transfer process.
- Step 1
Notify the franchisor
The selling franchisee gives Polar Tint advance written notice of the proposed transfer and must be current on all amounts owed and not in material default (Franchise Agreement §14.3).
- Step 2
Source the buyer
The selling franchisee finds a buyer, for example through a business broker or their own network. The buyer must meet Polar Tint’s then-current standards for new franchisees (FDD Item 17).
- Step 3
Franchisor approval + ROFR window
Polar Tint reviews the proposed buyer (background, capital, operator fit). Franchisor has a contractually-defined Right of First Refusal — the option to match the buyer’s offer.
- Step 4
Close + new-operator training
The buyer completes Polar Tint’s initial training at the buyer’s expense (65 hours — 40 classroom hours plus 25 on-the-job hours, delivered at our Henderson, NV HQ, virtually, or another location we designate, per FDD Item 11) and signs the then-current franchise agreement; the seller pays the transfer fee and signs a general release (FDD Item 17), and the buyer assumes operation. The seller transitions out per the negotiated terms.
