What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Dryject Management, LLC maintains the Marketing Fund. While the fund is not a trust and Dryject is not a fiduciary, they handle the bookkeeping and may deposit contributions into separate bank accounts. Dryject also has the option to incorporate the Marketing Fund or create a trust, potentially acting as the trustee.
Dryject retains control over how the Marketing Fund is used, with some limitations. Funds are not primarily used to sell franchises, though a brief statement about franchise availability may be included in advertising. Dryject also reserves the right to place additional advertising at its own expense and may use the Marketing Fund to cover its advertising-related administrative costs.
As the Dryject system expands, the company may establish an advertising council. All franchisor-owned or affiliate-owned units contribute to the Marketing Fund on the same basis as franchised units. Funds not spent in a given fiscal year are carried forward to the next year.
