What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there is no fee for the Initial Training Program for up to four people. However, this is space-permitting and at Dryject's discretion. The franchisee is responsible for covering the costs of travel, hotel, meals, and other expenses for each attendee.
Dryject may also offer additional training programs, workshops, and seminars, which franchisees or their employees may be required to attend. If attendance is mandatory, Dryject will not charge a fee for the program itself, but the franchisee will still be responsible for travel, hotel, and other related expenses. For optional training programs, Dryject may require the payment of a training fee, the amount of which they will determine.
Dryject also holds a national or regional Conference, which franchisees are required to attend. Franchisees must cover all expenses related to attending the Conference, including transportation, meals, and lodging. Dryject has the right to charge a reasonable Conference Registration Fee, which is currently up to $500.00. This fee is non-refundable and will be collected even if the franchisee does not attend the Conference. Dryject may invoice and collect this fee up to one year in advance via Electronic Funds Transfer as part of the standard monthly billing.
