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.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dermani Medspa's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Dermani Medspa will cover the expenses for their representative to assist with the opening of the franchised business for up to two days. This assistance includes pre-opening and opening support.
However, if the franchisee requests additional on-site assistance beyond the initial two days, the franchisee is responsible for reimbursing Dermani Medspa's costs. These costs include a per diem fee for the representative and any out-of-pocket expenses incurred during the extended assistance period.
It's important to note that Dermani Medspa reserves the right to reduce the duration of the representative's visit or not provide opening assistance at all for franchisees opening their second or subsequent Dermani Medspa location. This is a common practice in franchising, as experienced franchisees are expected to require less initial support.
