Does 360 Painting provide prior notice before inspecting a franchisee's business?

According to the 2025 FDD, 360 Painting, or its authorized representatives, can inspect franchisee vehicles or enter the business "at any time during normal business hours." The agreement does not specify that 360 Painting must provide prior notice before conducting these inspections.

This lack of required notice gives 360 Painting broad authority to monitor franchisee compliance with the franchise agreement and brand standards. Franchisees should, therefore, maintain consistent operational standards to ensure they are always prepared for an inspection.

While the agreement does not mandate notice, it is common for franchisors to provide some level of advance warning as a courtesy and to foster a more collaborative relationship with their franchisees. Prospective franchisees might want to discuss 360 Painting's typical inspection practices during the due diligence process to understand how frequently inspections occur and whether any informal notification is usually provided.

Franchisees must allow 360 Painting access to vehicles and the business premises for inspections. Refusal to allow inspections could be a breach of the franchise agreement, potentially leading to penalties or termination of the franchise agreement.
