What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to pay a Marketing Fund Fee to support the National Marketing Fund. The Marketing Fund Fee is determined by the franchisee's total number of months in operation, including both the initial term and any renewals.
For the first three months (1-3) as a Dryject franchisee, the Marketing Fund Fee is $0 per month. From months four to twelve (4-12), the fee increases to $100.00 per month. It then rises to $200.00 per month for months thirteen to twenty-four (13-24), and $300.00 per month for months twenty-five to thirty-six (25-36). After thirty-six months, specifically from month thirty-seven (37) forward, the Marketing Fund Fee is $500.00 per month.
In addition to the tiered schedule based on the number of months as a franchisee, Dryject specifies that the Marketing Fund Fee will be the greater of two percent (2%) of the monthly Gross Revenues generated by the franchisee or the amount specified by the schedule. These contributions must be paid by the 15th of each month or on the date designated in the Operations Manual. Failure to pay fees when due may result in interest charges of 18% per year or the maximum contract rate permitted by law, along with responsibility for Dryject's expenses in collecting overdue payments, including attorney's fees.
