EM 5: INITIAL FEES**
Franchise Fee
The initial franchise fee ("Franchise Fee") for a 360 Painting Business is $65,000. The Franchise Fee is payable by wire transfer and generally must be paid in one lump-sum upon execution of the Franchise Agreement. If you obtain third-party SBA financing, the terms of that financing may require that you pay a portion of the Franchise Fee (typically $15,000) upon execution of the Franchise Agreement and the remainder (typically $50,000) be paid after receiving funding. The Franchise Fee is fully earned when paid and is not refundable.
Discount Offered
We offer two different discount options on the Franchise Fee. The discounts may not be combined.
First, we offer a 10% discount on the Franchise Fee for honorably discharged U.S. military veterans and individuals working in rescue, emergency services and policing who purchase a new Franchised Business.
Second, we offer a 10% discount on the Franchise Fee if you already own and operate an existing franchise in a franchise system owned by us or one of our affiliates and you are in compliance with the terms of your franchise agreement.
During our last fiscal year, we sold franchises for a Franchise Fee that ranged from $0 to $65,000.
Initial Technology Fee
You must pay us an initial technology fee of $5,000 in one-lump sum upon signing the Franchise Agreement. The Initial Technology Fee is not refundable.
