Frequently Asked Questions

Starting a Disc Replay franchise typically requires an investment in the range of $350,000–$750,000, and owners generally need $150,000 in liquid capital and a $500,000 net worth to qualify.

Absolutely. We’ll provide you with the FDD at least 14 days before signing any agreement or making payments—giving you time to review legal details, fees, obligations, and performance metrics.

In addition to the initial franchise fee, most franchising models include ongoing royalties or marketing contributions. We’re transparent about any recurring fees—details of which will be clearly outlined in your FDD.

Yes, and we highly encourage it. Speaking directly with current franchisees is invaluable for understanding day-to-day operations, support quality, and financial expectations.

Exit terms, including resale policies, are outlined in your franchise agreement. We support responsible transitions and may assist in connecting you with qualified buyers when the time comes.

Franchising offers a proven business model, brand recognition, and support system out of the gate. That said, success still depends on good location selection, strong management, and dedication.
