What is the estimated cost for the Dryject equipment package if leased?

According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the minimum required equipment package costs $166,500 if purchased outright. However, with acceptable credit, a prospective franchisee can lease the model 4820 DryJect® machine for approximately $1,000 per month per machine from various third-party leasing companies. The minimum equipment package consists of at least three model 4820 DryJect® machines, each priced at $55,500, along with certain spare parts.

For a Dryject franchisee, leasing the equipment offers a lower initial investment compared to purchasing. Leasing three machines would cost approximately $3,000 per month. This could be an attractive option for franchisees who prefer to conserve capital or who may not qualify for financing to purchase the equipment. The FDD indicates that the equipment must be purchased from Dryject, so the leasing option is facilitated through third-party leasing companies.

It is important to note that the $1,000 per month per machine is an estimate, and the actual lease terms will depend on the franchisee's creditworthiness and the specific terms offered by the leasing company. A potential franchisee should carefully review the lease agreement and consider the long-term costs and benefits of leasing versus purchasing. Additionally, the franchisee should confirm with Dryject which third-party leasing companies are approved and whether there are any specific requirements or restrictions on leasing the equipment.

Table 7 in the FDD also shows the equipment package cost as $3,000 (lease) - $166,500 (purchase), payable as incurred to Dryject, its affiliate, or a lessor. This reinforces the availability of both purchasing and leasing options for the equipment package, with the specific amount depending on the chosen method.
