What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay Spray Net between $5,000 and $8,000 upon signing the agreement for an initial package of business supplies, referred to as the "Marketing Kit." This kit includes items like uniforms, marketing brochures, letterheads, and business cards.
Prior to opening their Spray Net franchise, franchisees are required to purchase a "Production Supplies Kit" and a "Sales Kit" from Spray Net and/or its approved or designated suppliers. Additionally, franchisees must purchase ongoing inventory, including proprietary and/or branded paint and other products necessary to provide approved services.
Spray Net may also provide franchisees with information regarding new products, services, or suppliers, and may develop and provide private label products or other merchandise bearing the Proprietary Marks to be used or sold by the franchisee. Franchisees may be required to purchase these items from Spray Net or any other approved supplier that Spray Net designates. This means that while the initial marketing investment involves a mandatory purchase from Spray Net, ongoing supplies and certain kits must be sourced from Spray Net or its approved suppliers, giving Spray Net significant control over the franchisee's supply chain.
