What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the annual Brand Fund contribution for a franchise in its tenth year of operation varies based on which of the tables in Item 6 applies. One table indicates that the Brand Fund contribution for the tenth year is $21,370, collected monthly. Another table shows the tenth-year Brand Fund contribution as $37,039, also collected monthly. A third table lists the tenth-year Brand Fund contribution as $28,142.
These Brand Fund contributions are collected monthly and are in addition to other marketing expenses such as the Annual Local Advertising Requirement, the Annual Digital Marketing Spend, and the Annual Production Fee Cap. The FDD states that the franchisee must spend a minimum annual amount on local advertising for their franchised business and that 75% of the Local Advertising Requirement must be spent on digital marketing, which is managed by Spray Net or a contracted supplier.
The discrepancies in the Brand Fund contributions across the tables in Item 6 suggest that the required contribution may depend on factors such as the number of designated territories a franchisee operates. Prospective franchisees should clarify with Spray Net which table applies to their specific situation and what factors determine the applicable Brand Fund contribution to accurately forecast their ongoing expenses.
