What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, after submitting an application to become a franchisee or area developer, and after the 14-day waiting period following receipt of the disclosure document, each owner will be required to undergo a background check. This background check includes a criminal/civil record search and a credit check. The fee for this background check ranges from $200 to $300 for each owner of the Face Foundrie franchise. This fee is non-refundable upon payment.
The FDD states that the total background check fee will range from $200 to $600, depending on whether the franchise has one or two owners. If there are more than two owners, the background check fee may be higher than $600.
Prospective Face Foundrie franchisees should factor this cost into their initial investment. It is important to note that the fee is non-refundable, regardless of the outcome of the background check or whether the franchise agreement is ultimately signed. Franchisees with multiple owners should be prepared for potentially higher background check costs.
