What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dermani Medspa's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the prepaid rent, utility, and security deposit are due upon signing the lease and as incurred. The estimated low amount for these expenses is $17,088, while the estimated high amount is $36,178. These payments are made directly to the landlord.
The FDD notes that the prototypical Dermani Medspa is approximately 1,500 to 2,000 square feet in size, and estimates the cost of leasing commercial space to be between $25 and $50 annually per square foot, though this can vary significantly based on market conditions. The estimate includes rent for the first three months of operations, and a security deposit of one month's rent.
Prospective franchisees should consult with a real estate broker or other professional in their target market to assess typical leasing costs. Landlords may require security deposits ranging from $0 to as much as six months' rent, so it's important to understand local market practices. Franchisees may also be able to negotiate a leasehold allowance with the landlord to cover a portion of the costs of constructing leasehold improvements, but Dermani Medspa cannot estimate the amount, scope, or type of allowance that may be available.
