What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, as of the Issuance Date, franchisees must purchase certain items from approved suppliers. These include the required business management and other software, equipment (including the Mobile Services Unit, which Spray Net expects franchisees to lease from an approved third-party lessor), the Marketing Kit, Production Supplies Kit, and Sales Kit.
Approved suppliers are also designated for supplies like masking paper, tape, and caulking, as well as vehicle signage and its installation. Additionally, franchisees must use approved suppliers for all or some of their marketing, advertising, and promotional materials and services related to the Local Advertising Requirement and Initial Marketing Investment. Approved suppliers are also in place for the home show booth, spray booth, call center, sales center, accounting software (QuickBooks), and bookkeeping services (Journey).
Furthermore, if applicable, certain equipment, hardware, and operating supplies necessary to provide any approved Ancillary Services must be sourced from approved suppliers. SN Distribution is the designated supplier for Proprietary Products and some inventory/supplies needed to provide the Approved Services and operate the franchise. Spray Net itself is the designated supplier for the Marketing Kit, Production Supplies Kit, Sales Kit, System-associated business management software, and certain digital and other marketing management services related to the Initial Marketing Investment and Local Advertising Requirement. This means a significant portion of a franchisee's purchases will be dictated by Spray Net's approved supplier network.
