What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Supplier Approval fee is due upon receipt of the bill. This fee covers Dryject's costs for reviewing and potentially inspecting or testing a supplier proposed by the franchisee.
Dryject reserves the right to charge a fee for reviewing a proposed supplier of any goods used in connection with the franchise. This means that if a franchisee wants to use a supplier not already approved by Dryject, they may incur this fee. The amount will depend on the actual costs Dryject incurs to assess the supplier.
If Dryject determines that an inspection of the supplier's facilities or testing of their products is necessary, the franchisee (or the supplier) will be responsible for covering Dryject's actual costs for these activities. This could include travel, lodging, personnel time, and lab fees, which can potentially be a significant expense. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand this potential cost when considering using a non-approved supplier.
