Prior to the opening of the Franchised Business, we will, at our cost, send one of our representatives to the Franchised Business for a period of up to 2 days to assist with pre-opening and opening of the Franchised Business. If you request, and we agree to provide, additional or special guidance, assistance, or training during this opening phase, you agree to pay our then-current per diem fee and out-of-pocket expenses. We reserve the right to reduce the duration of our representative's visit or to not provide opening assistance for your second or subsequent Franchised Business.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dermani Medspa's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Dermani Medspa will send a representative to the franchised business for up to two days to assist with pre-opening and opening. Dermani Medspa bears the cost of this initial assistance. However, the document specifies that Dermani Medspa reserves the right to reduce the duration of the representative's visit or not provide opening assistance for a franchisee's second or subsequent Dermani Medspa location.
If a franchisee requires additional on-site assistance beyond the initial two days, they must cover Dermani Medspa's costs. This includes a per diem fee for the representative and any out-of-pocket expenses incurred. This arrangement is fairly typical in franchising, where franchisors provide initial support but charge for extended or specialized assistance.
Prospective franchisees should consider these provisions when budgeting for their opening. If they anticipate needing more support, they should factor in the additional costs. It's also important to note that the level of support may vary for franchisees opening multiple locations, which could impact their operational plans and expenses.
