What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Dryject requires franchisees or their employees to attend additional training programs, Dryject will provide the program at no cost. However, the franchisee is responsible for covering the travel, hotel, and other associated costs and expenses for each person attending the program.
This means that while the training itself is free, franchisees must budget for transportation, accommodation, and other incidentals for themselves and their employees if attendance is mandatory. This could represent a significant expense, especially if the training location is far from the franchisee's base of operations or requires multiple employees to attend.
It is important for prospective Dryject franchisees to factor in these potential training-related expenses when evaluating the overall cost of the franchise. Franchisees should inquire about the frequency, location, and duration of any required additional training programs to accurately estimate these costs and assess their financial impact.
