What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training fee is due upon signing the Franchise Agreement. The initial training fee is a lump sum payment of $15,000. This fee covers the costs and expenses Spray Net incurs to provide initial training before the franchisee begins operating their Spray Net business, as well as for the two years following the start of operations. This training is for the franchisee or, if the franchisee is an entity, their operating principal, and potentially a Designated Manager approved by Spray Net.
Spray Net's standard franchise offering assumes that the franchisee or their operating principal will directly manage the day-to-day operations of the franchise for at least the first full year. If a franchisee withdraws from or does not complete the initial training program, the initial franchise fee is non-refundable. However, if the franchisee does not complete the initial training program to Spray Net's satisfaction, Spray Net may terminate the franchise agreement and return the initial franchise fee and 50% of the training fee in exchange for a release and confidentiality agreement.
It is important for prospective Spray Net franchisees to understand the terms and conditions related to the initial training fee, including when it is due, what it covers, and the potential consequences of not completing the training program. Franchisees should also inquire about the content and duration of the training program to ensure it meets their needs and expectations.
