What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial marketing investment, which ranges from $20,000 to $30,000, is paid upon signing the Franchise Agreement. These payments are to be made to Spray Net, its affiliate, and/or other approved suppliers.
Additionally, Spray Net expects to collect between $1,000 and $5,000 of this initial marketing investment. This portion serves as consideration for Spray Net managing the placement and suppliers involved in the initial marketing activities. These activities are designed to increase the visibility of the franchisee's business within their designated territory and generate prospective client interest and sales appointments during the initial operations.
This means a prospective Spray Net franchisee should budget between $20,000 and $30,000 for the initial marketing investment. A portion of this investment, between $1,000 and $5,000, will be paid directly to Spray Net for managing the marketing efforts. The remainder will be distributed to approved third-party suppliers for marketing services. Franchisees should confirm with Spray Net which specific suppliers are approved and how the payments will be allocated.
