What happens to all interest earned on monies contributed to the Hydrodog Marketing Fund?

According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, all interest earned on monies contributed to the Marketing Fund will be used to pay System Development costs before other assets of the Marketing Fund are expended. This means that any interest accrued from the Marketing Fund contributions will be specifically allocated to cover the costs associated with developing and improving the Hydrodog system.

For a prospective franchisee, this indicates that the interest earned on their contributions to the Marketing Fund is directly reinvested into enhancing the Hydrodog brand and operational system. This could include improvements to technology, training programs, or other aspects of the franchise system. By prioritizing system development costs, Hydrodog aims to strengthen the overall franchise network and potentially increase the value and efficiency of each individual franchise.

It's important to note that this policy ensures that interest earned is used for system-wide improvements rather than being distributed as profit or used for other purposes. Franchisees benefit from these improvements through a stronger brand and potentially more efficient operations. However, franchisees should be aware that they will not directly receive any portion of the interest earned on the Marketing Fund, as it is earmarked for system development costs.
