What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, some opening inventory and supplies must be purchased from Spray Net's required or approved suppliers. Specifically, Spray Net provides franchisees with written specifications and guidelines for these items.
This requirement ensures that franchisees use products and supplies that meet Spray Net's standards, which helps maintain consistency and quality across all franchise locations. While this may limit a franchisee's choice of suppliers, it also streamlines the procurement process and potentially ensures access to preferred pricing or terms negotiated by Spray Net.
Prospective franchisees should inquire about the specific items that must be purchased from approved suppliers, the process for becoming an approved supplier, and whether there are any opportunities to negotiate pricing or terms with these suppliers. Understanding these requirements is essential for budgeting and managing the initial setup costs of the franchise.
