What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, prospective franchisees must undergo a background check that includes a criminal/civil record search and a credit check. This background check is required after applying to become a franchisee or area developer, and after the 14-day waiting period following receipt of the disclosure document.
The non-refundable background check fee ranges from $200 to $600, payable either to Face Foundrie or directly to their designated background check provider. The low end of this range, $200, assumes a single owner, while the high end, $600, appears in the table of estimated initial investments. The discrepancy between the $300 mentioned in the paragraph and the $600 in the table is not explained.
Face Foundrie will not countersign a Franchise Agreement until the results of the background check are received. Face Foundrie reserves the right to reject an applicant based on the results of the background and credit checks, deeming them unsuitable to run a Face Foundrie Facial Bar. Prospective franchisees should clarify the potential discrepancy in the background check fee amount with Face Foundrie.
