Can 360 Painting require franchisees to purchase training videos or other instructional materials?

According to the 2025 FDD, 360 Painting franchisees may be required to purchase training videos or other instructional materials. The FDD states that these materials will be specified by 360 Painting from time to time in the Brand Standards Manual or otherwise. This means that the franchisee should be prepared to budget for such purchases as part of their ongoing operational costs.

This requirement ensures that all franchisees and their employees adhere to 360 Painting's standards and methods. By mandating the purchase of these materials, 360 Painting aims to maintain consistency and quality across all franchise locations. The Brand Standards Manual is a key document that franchisees must follow, and it may be updated periodically to reflect new training requirements or instructional materials.

For a prospective franchisee, this means staying informed about any updates to the Brand Standards Manual and being prepared to invest in the required training resources. It is important to factor in these potential costs when evaluating the overall financial investment required to operate a 360 Painting franchise. Franchisees should inquire about the frequency and estimated costs of these materials to better plan their budget.
