According to the 2025 360 Painting Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial technology fee of $5,000 is due in one lump sum upon signing the Franchise Agreement. This fee is non-refundable. This fee covers the initial cost of 360 Painting's customized software platforms.

This means that a prospective 360 Painting franchisee must be prepared to pay the $5,000 technology fee at the time they formally agree to the franchise terms. This is in addition to the initial franchise fee, which is also typically due upon signing, although payment terms may be altered if the franchisee obtains third-party SBA financing.

It is important for potential franchisees to factor this technology fee into their initial investment costs and understand that it is non-refundable, regardless of whether the franchise ever opens or becomes profitable. The technology fee contributes to the overall cost of starting the 360 Painting franchise and should be considered alongside other fees and expenses.
