What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company may require franchisees and their personnel to complete portions of the Initial Training Program remotely within 30 days of the franchise agreement's execution. This remote training is a prerequisite for attending the in-person components of the Initial Training Program held at Spray Net's headquarters or another designated training facility.
Before attending the in-person training, franchisees must meet specific pre-conditions, including paying the Initial Training Fee, submitting the Initial Marketing Investment (ranging from $20,000 to $40,000), establishing a Payment Account, securing required insurance coverages, and providing completed copies of all required agreements and contracts.
In addition to the initial training, Spray Net may also require franchisees and their management personnel to attend regional meetings. Franchisees are responsible for all costs associated with these meetings, including attendance fees, travel, lodging, and employment expenses. Spray Net also provides ongoing support and maintenance through a ticketed chatbot embedded in the Spray-Network menu. If a user requires support to use the platform, in some cases, they may be sent training materials such as videos, documents or a video conference may be scheduled.
