What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee can accept business from outside their designated territory without penalty under specific conditions. A Dryject franchisee can accept business resulting from referrals or unsolicited inquiries from customers outside their Designated Territory if that business is not located in another franchisee's designated territory.
However, if a Dryject franchisee accepts business from outside their Designated Territory that is located within another franchisee's territory, Dryject has the right to require the franchisee to forfeit all gross revenues earned from that business to the franchisee who operates within that designated territory. This policy is in place to protect each franchisee's territory and prevent encroachment.
This means a Dryject franchisee needs to be careful when accepting business from outside their territory. They must ensure that the business is not located within another franchisee's designated area. If it is, they risk losing all revenue from that job. It would be prudent for a franchisee to confirm the location of potential clients and check against a map of existing territories to avoid any conflicts and potential revenue forfeiture.
