Spray_Net Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
We require that you personally participate in the actual operation of your Franchised Business. You, if an individual, and certain persons affiliated with you, are required to attend, and successfully complete to our satisfaction, our training programs (described more fully in Item 11 above), and certain other training programs that we designate provided by third parties. All training must be completed prior to opening the Franchised Business.
Under certain conditions and with our prior approval, we may permit you to appoint a Designated Manager to handle day-to-day management of the Franchised Business on-site at the premises. Your Designated Manager must complete all components of our initial training, but we do not require that your Designated Manager immediately have an ownership interest in a corporate or partnership franchisee. If you engage a Designated Manager to manage the day-to-day operations of the Franchised Business, your Designated Manager must, by one (1) year after the Franchised Business opens for business, either (i) own ten percent (10%) of the equity interest in Franchisee and/or the Franchised Business or (ii) be granted a compensation package that grants the Designated Manager ten percent (10%) of the equity interest in Franchisee and/or the Franchised Business within a reasonable period of time. The Designated Manager will need to be approved by us and will need to sign the form of Confidentiality and Non-Compete Agreement in a form substantially similar to the form attached to your Franchise Agreemen
