May My Salon Suite include a notation indicating "Franchises Available" in any advertisement?

According to the 2025 My Salon Suite Franchise Disclosure Document, My Salon Suite is permitted to include a notation indicating "Franchises Available" or similar phrasing in any advertisement. However, My Salon Suite will not use Brand Building Fund contributions for advertising that is principally a solicitation for the sale of franchises.

This means that while My Salon Suite can advertise the availability of franchises, the primary purpose of their advertising efforts using the Brand Building Fund must be to promote the My Salon Suite brand and services, not specifically to recruit new franchisees. This is a common practice in franchising, ensuring that advertising funds are used to build brand awareness and customer demand, which benefits existing franchisees.

As a prospective franchisee, it's important to understand how My Salon Suite allocates its advertising budget and the extent to which these efforts are focused on brand building versus franchise recruitment. While My Salon Suite can mention franchise availability in their ads, the main goal should be to attract customers to existing locations, thereby increasing revenue for franchisees.
