What does the low-end estimate for the approved vehicle lease payments for Spray Net assume?

According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the low-end estimate for approved vehicle lease payments assumes that the franchisee already possesses a vehicle suitable for towing the Mobile Services Unit. This existing vehicle must also meet Spray Net's standards and specifications for use in the franchised business.

In practical terms, this means a prospective Spray Net franchisee might not need to factor in vehicle lease costs if they already own a compliant vehicle. The initial investment table shows the 'Approved Vehicle – Lease Payments for 3 Months' can be $0 on the low end, but could be as high as $3,600 if a lease is required.

This can significantly reduce the initial financial burden on the franchisee. However, it's crucial to verify that the existing vehicle indeed meets all of Spray Net's requirements. If the vehicle needs modifications or doesn't fully comply, the franchisee will likely incur additional expenses to meet the brand's standards. The franchisee should clarify these vehicle specifications with Spray Net during their due diligence.

It is important to note that if a new vehicle lease is necessary, the high-end estimate of $3,600 is designed to cover the estimated lease payments for the first three months of operation. This highlights the importance of having a suitable vehicle from the outset to potentially avoid these initial costs.
