Dermani_Medspa Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
We require you to either use our designated real estate broker when you are evaluating potential sites, or, if you use your own real estate broker, then you must use our designated real estate broker to oversee your site selection process.
Likewise, we require you to either use our designated construction contractor when you are building out your dermani MEDSPA®, or, if you use your own contractor, then you must use our designated contractor to oversee your buildout.
The low estimate assumes that you will use our designated real estate broker and contractor.
The high estimate assumes that you will use your own real estate broker and contractor, and therefore pay our designated real estate broker and contractor additional fees for their services.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dermani Medspa's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the high estimate for site selection and construction oversight assumes that the franchisee will use their own real estate broker and contractor. In this scenario, the franchisee would pay Dermani Medspa's designated real estate broker and contractor additional fees for overseeing the site selection and buildout processes. This contrasts with the low estimate, which assumes the franchisee uses Dermani Medspa's designated real estate broker and contractor directly.
This difference in approach can significantly impact the initial investment. The estimated low amount for site selection and construction oversight is $0, while the estimated high amount is $5,000. This $5,000 difference represents the additional fees paid to Dermani Medspa's designated professionals for overseeing the franchisee's chosen broker and contractor.
Prospective franchisees should carefully consider whether to use Dermani Medspa's designated professionals or their own. While using their own broker and contractor provides more flexibility, it also incurs additional oversight fees. Franchisees should weigh the potential benefits of local expertise against the added cost of Dermani Medspa's oversight to make an informed decision that aligns with their budget and business strategy.
