What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Itan's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated cost to purchase all Sun Spray Spa Equipment ranges from $194,500 to $398,500. This equipment includes sun equipment (UV beds), spray equipment (spray tanning booth), and spa equipment such as teeth-whitening, photo facial, beauty light, and salt therapy units. However, it excludes the FIT Bodywrap®, which is included in the Startup Package. The lower end of the estimate assumes a smaller facility with a limited number of spa services.
Itan notes that many franchisees opt to lease the equipment instead of purchasing it outright. The document provides separate cost estimates for franchisees who choose to lease versus purchase. For those who lease, the initial costs are significantly lower, but franchisees should factor in ongoing monthly lease payments.
Prospective Itan franchisees should carefully consider whether to lease or purchase the Sun Spray Spa Equipment based on their financial situation, business plan, and risk tolerance. Leasing may be a more accessible option initially, but purchasing could be more cost-effective in the long run, depending on the terms of the lease and the expected lifespan of the equipment.
