What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Initial Marketing Investment is due upon the execution of the Franchise Agreement. The amount ranges from $15,000 to $40,000, depending on the number of Designated Territories a franchisee purchases. The FDD specifies that the payment timeline is dependent upon the number of Designated Territories purchased.
Spray Net intends to collect this amount directly from the franchisee and may retain a portion of it as compensation for managing the placement and suppliers associated with the initial marketing activities. These activities are designed to increase the visibility of the franchised business within the designated territory and generate prospective client interest and sales appointments before and during the initial operations.
The FDD also notes that Spray Net currently collects this fee via GoCardless, a direct debit payment system. However, Spray Net retains the right to modify the payment method in the future, potentially integrating a payment processing feature into their Business Management Software, which would then require franchisees to use that system and be responsible for any associated terminal and processing fees.
