Does the Dryject additional funds estimate include an allowance for an owner's salary?

According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the additional funds estimate does not include an allowance for an owner's salary. The FDD indicates that the additional funds estimate is based on an owner-operated business. This means that the estimated $2,000 to $20,000 for the first three months of business operations is intended to cover expenses other than the owner's personal income.

Dryject estimates that franchisees may need to inject additional cash into the business during the initial three months, and potentially longer. This is a common situation for new businesses, as revenue may not immediately cover all operating expenses. The additional funds are intended to cover costs like inventory, marketing, and other unforeseen expenses.

Prospective Dryject franchisees should carefully consider their personal financial needs and living expenses when planning their initial investment. They should ensure they have sufficient capital to cover both the estimated initial investment and their personal expenses during the start-up phase. It would be prudent to develop a detailed financial projection that includes a realistic estimate of the owner's salary or draw, and to compare this with available personal resources.
