What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated payments for leasing a HydroDog Vehicle do not include a deposit. The document specifies that the low-end estimate for the initial investment assumes the franchisee will lease the HydroDog Vehicle.
The estimated initial investment table outlines the HydroDog Vehicle costs as ranging from $1,000 to $2,500 if leased. This amount is paid monthly to an approved supplier. A potential franchisee should factor in the cost of a deposit separately when budgeting for the leased vehicle.
Prospective franchisees should confirm with Hydrodog-approved suppliers what deposit amounts are required for the HydroDog Vehicle lease. Understanding all upfront costs is crucial for accurate financial planning.
