What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, prior to soliciting prospective clientele, a franchisee must secure at least three telephone numbers dedicated solely to the franchised business. These numbers must be assigned to Spray Net at their option upon termination, expiration, or transfer of the Franchise Agreement. The franchisee is also obligated to list and advertise these telephone numbers in both the "White pages" and "yellow pages" telephone directories within their trade area, under categories specified by Spray Net. Furthermore, the franchisee must list and/or advertise with Spray Net and other franchisees on electronic yellow pages and other online directories designated by Spray Net, such as Google Local, Google Business, and Angie's List.
Spray Net retains the right to manage the franchisee's online presence. If a franchisee fails to comply with Spray Net's requests regarding online listings or advertisements, Spray Net reserves the right to place, modify, or remove such listings and advertisements on behalf of the franchisee. This ensures consistent branding and marketing efforts across all franchise locations.
In addition to directory listings and phone numbers, the Spray Net franchisee is required to purchase, lease, and/or maintain any and all Required Items that Spray Net designates for use in connection with the Franchised Business that may include, without limitation, the Mobile Services Unit, Approved Vehicle, Computer System, equipment, supplies, inventory and ensure that all Required Items meet Spray Net's standards and specifications. The franchisee must also cause the Mobile Services Unit and Approved Vehicle to be wrapped or painted in signage and artwork as approved by Spray Net prior to opening the Franchised Business.
These requirements ensure that the Spray Net franchise presents a consistent and professional image to the public, aligning with the franchisor's brand standards. By controlling advertising and marketing, Spray Net aims to maintain quality and uniformity across all franchise locations, which can impact customer perception and business success.
