What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dryject Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee has the right to operate the business office of the franchised business from their home. The franchisee also has the right to relocate the business office, provided they receive prior written consent from Dryject and the relocation does not infringe on the territorial rights of any other franchisee or company-owned business.
However, a Dryject franchisee cannot lease or purchase a premises to operate the business office outside of their designated territory. If a franchisee chooses to relocate their business office, they must notify Dryject of the new location before the relocation takes place. The franchisee is responsible for covering all costs associated with any such relocation.
This policy provides flexibility for Dryject franchisees, particularly in the early stages of their business, by reducing overhead costs associated with renting or purchasing a separate office space. However, franchisees need to carefully consider the implications of operating from home, such as potential impacts on professionalism and separation of personal and business life. Additionally, any relocation requires franchisor approval and adherence to territorial restrictions, ensuring the franchisor maintains control over market distribution and brand consistency.
