What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for specific expenses related to the initial training program. While up to two people can attend the training program at no additional cost, the franchisee must cover the Initial Training Fee.
In addition to the training fee, the franchisee is responsible for all costs associated with airfare, lodging, most meals, ground transportation, personnel wages and benefits (if applicable), and any other personal expenses for themselves and any additional attendees during the training period. These costs apply to the initial training program conducted at Spray Net's headquarters or another location they choose, which typically lasts up to 5 business days.
Spray Net also provides up to three business days of sales training and five business days of production training at the franchisee's location for the franchisee and their staff. The FDD does not specify who covers the costs for the sales and production training, so it is important to clarify with Spray Net who is responsible for these costs.
