Does Dryject require franchisees to lease or purchase commercial real estate for their business operations?

According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are not required to lease or purchase commercial real estate. Note 14 in Item 7 states that Dryject does not estimate any real estate costs. The FDD presumes that franchisees will operate the business office from their home. However, if necessary, franchisees may need to rent a storage facility to store equipment.

While Dryject does not require franchisees to secure commercial real estate, the FDD outlines other potential costs. Franchisees must either purchase or lease a suitable work truck to operate the franchised business. The estimated cost of a new truck is approximately $70,000, or the franchisee can lease a truck for approximately $1,000 per month, with the first three months estimated at $3,000. Franchisees will also need to budget for office equipment and furniture, estimated to cost between $400 and $1,600, and office supplies, estimated to cost between $100 and $300.

Prospective Dryject franchisees should consider the costs of renting a storage facility if they do not have sufficient space at their home to store equipment. They should also factor in the costs associated with purchasing or leasing a suitable work truck, as this is a necessary expense for operating the business. Additionally, franchisees should be aware of the ongoing costs of insurance, permits, licenses, and local advertising expenditures, as these will impact their overall profitability.
