What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated range for the Background Check Fee is between $200 and $600. This fee is paid either to Face Foundrie or directly to their designated background check provider. It is due upon applying to become a franchisee, but only after the 14-day waiting period following receipt of the FDD. This fee is non-refundable.
The background check includes a criminal/civil record search and a credit check. Face Foundrie will not countersign the Franchise Agreement until they receive the results of the background check. The low end of the estimate, $200, assumes a single owner, while the high end, $600, suggests costs for multiple owners.
It's important to note that Face Foundrie reserves the right to reject a potential franchisee based on the background check results. Prospective franchisees should clarify with Face Foundrie what specific criteria are used to evaluate the background check and credit check results to ensure they understand the standards for approval.
