What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, in the event of the death, disability, or incapacitation of the franchisee (or their principals/owners/guarantors), their legal representative has the right to continue operating the franchise under certain conditions. One of these conditions is that the person continuing the franchise operation must successfully complete Spray Net's training program.
The FDD states that Spray Net will provide this training program at the franchisor's then-current tuition rate. This means that the cost of the training program is not fixed and may vary over time.
For a prospective franchisee, this implies that in the unfortunate event of death or disability, their successor will need to budget for the cost of this training. It is important to ask Spray Net about the current tuition rate for this training program and whether it includes all associated costs or if there are additional expenses to consider. This information will help in financial planning and ensuring a smooth transition in such circumstances.
