What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for costs and expenses associated with attending the annual Convention and Regional Meetings, in addition to attendance fees. These additional costs include employment costs for any employees the franchisee brings to the meetings, lodging, and travel expenses.
Spray Net estimates the total fee for both the Regional Meetings and the Convention to be up to $4,000 per attendee. Franchisees must also pay the attendance fees even if they fail to attend the Convention or Regional Meetings.
It is important for prospective Spray Net franchisees to factor in these mandatory attendance costs when evaluating the overall investment and operational expenses of the franchise. These meetings are mandatory, so budgeting for these expenses is essential for the financial planning of the franchise.
