What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, to qualify for the 10% veteran discount, a prospective franchisee must provide a copy of form DD-214, reflecting their military status. This documentation must be submitted before the Franchise Agreement is signed. The discount is available to veterans who have received a discharge (other than dishonorable) as well as any active-duty personnel.
If the franchisee is a corporation, limited liability company, or other legal entity, the veteran participant must maintain at least 51% ownership interest in the entity to qualify for this discount. This condition ensures that the veteran has a controlling interest in the franchise to be eligible for the discount.
This type of discount is not uncommon in the franchise industry as a way for franchisors to support veterans and encourage them to become franchisees. The specific requirements and the amount of the discount can vary among different franchise systems. For a prospective Spray Net franchisee who is a veteran, meeting these requirements can result in a significant reduction in the initial franchise fee.
