Spray_Net Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
We do not currently require that you operate your Franchised Business from a warehouse or other industrial space, and our standard franchise offering assumes that you will operate from a Home Office. If you are restricted from operating the Franchised Business out of your home office and/or otherwise not able to park your Approved Vehicle at that home office, due to local ordinance, CC&Rs, community rules and other regulations, we will not unreasonably withhold our approval of a third-party commercial space you propose.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the standard franchise offering assumes franchisees will operate from a home office. Spray Net does not typically require a warehouse or industrial space. However, Spray Net will not unreasonably withhold approval of a third-party commercial space if a franchisee is restricted from operating the business out of their home office. This may be due to local ordinances, CC&Rs, community rules, or other regulations that prevent operating a business or parking the required vehicle at the home office.
This policy provides flexibility for prospective Spray Net franchisees who may face restrictions on operating a home-based business due to local regulations or community rules. It ensures that franchisees are not automatically disqualified if their home location is unsuitable for business operations. Instead, Spray Net will consider alternative commercial spaces proposed by the franchisee.
It is important for potential Spray Net franchisees to research local regulations and community rules regarding home-based businesses and vehicle parking before signing the Franchise Agreement. If such restrictions exist, the franchisee should discuss potential commercial space options with Spray Net to ensure a smooth approval process. This proactive approach can help avoid delays and ensure compliance with all applicable regulations.
