What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee wants to purchase an unapproved item or acquire approved items from an unapproved supplier, Spray Net may provide the proposed supplier with the specifications for that item. However, before Spray Net releases these specifications, the third-party supplier must execute Spray Net's prescribed form of non-disclosure agreement.
This requirement protects Spray Net's proprietary information and ensures that suppliers do not share or misuse the company's specifications. It also allows Spray Net to maintain control over the quality and consistency of products used within its franchise system.
For a prospective Spray Net franchisee, this means that if they wish to use a supplier not already approved by Spray Net, they should be prepared to facilitate the execution of a non-disclosure agreement between the supplier and Spray Net. This process is essential for obtaining the necessary product specifications and potentially integrating a new supplier into the Spray Net system, subject to Spray Net's approval.
