Will Itan reimburse a franchisee if their Salon is used as a training facility?

According to Itan's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Itan may use a franchisee's salon as a training facility for other franchisees. If Itan does use a franchisee's salon for training purposes, Itan will reimburse the franchisee for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred as a result.

This means that if Itan designates a franchisee's salon as a training location, the franchisee will not bear the financial burden of hosting the training. Instead, Itan will cover the direct costs that the franchisee incurs. This could include expenses such as additional cleaning supplies, utilities, or any minor repairs needed due to the increased usage.

It is important for a prospective Itan franchisee to understand what constitutes 'out-of-pocket expenses' and to establish a clear process with Itan for documenting and submitting these expenses for reimbursement. This will ensure transparency and avoid potential disputes regarding the reimbursement process.
