What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a new franchisee must pay an initial training fee of $15,000 to the franchisor. This fee is due prior to or around the time the franchisee launches their Spray Net business.
It is important to note that this Initial Training Fee is considered fully earned and is non-refundable once the Franchise Agreement is signed. This means that even if the franchisee doesn't complete the training or decides not to open the business, they will not receive a refund of this fee.
In addition to the initial training fee, the franchisee must also make an initial marketing investment between $20,000 and $40,000. This investment is separate from the training fee and is intended for digital and other marketing efforts in the two months leading up to the business opening. Franchisees must also cover their expenses for attending regional meetings, including travel, lodging, and attendance fees.
