What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the purchase price for the Base Equipment Package, which includes a minimum of three model 4820 DryJect machines and certain spare parts, is $166,500. This amount is nonrefundable and uniform for all franchise owners. The fee is considered fully earned by Dryject upon the execution of the Franchise Agreement.
This nonrefundable policy means that once the agreement is signed, the franchisee is obligated to pay the $166,500 for the Base Equipment Package, regardless of whether they commence the Initial Training Program, receive the equipment, or 90 days pass after the agreement's effective date. This is a significant financial commitment, and a prospective franchisee should be certain of their decision before signing the agreement.
It is common in franchising for initial fees, especially those related to equipment purchases, to be nonrefundable. This protects the franchisor from losses incurred in preparing to support the new franchise. However, franchisees should carefully consider this policy and ensure they have thoroughly evaluated the Dryject opportunity before committing to the purchase.
