What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the transfer fee is $10,000. This fee is due at the time a franchisee submits a proposal to transfer their franchise.
Spray Net requires both the franchisee (the seller) and the proposed transferee (the buyer) to meet certain conditions before the company will evaluate or approve the transfer. This fee applies to all transfers, whether the franchisee is transferring the entire business or just a portion of it, such as one of the designated territories.
However, there is an exception: if an individual franchisee wants to assign the franchise to an entity that they wholly own and have formed specifically to own the Spray Net franchise, the transfer fee may be waived. In this specific case, Spray Net may only charge the franchisee for the legal fees and other costs they incur to evaluate and document their consent to the transfer and any associated conditions. The FDD also notes that the transfer fee is subject to state law, implying that it could vary based on local regulations.
