Business Offered

360 PAINTING, LLC grants Unit Franchises to qualified individuals and business entities to establish and operate businesses in conjunction with the service mark “360 Painting” and certain other logos and trademarks (collectively referred to as the “Marks”). We refer to the 360 PAINTING business you will operate as a Unit Franchisee as the “Franchised Business.” We and our predecessor 360 Painting Inc. have offered franchises since September 2006. We do not offer and have not previously offered franchises in any other line of business. Furthermore, we do not operate or own any businesses similar to the Franchised Business. From August 2007 to December 2010, we granted Regional Development Rights to qualified individuals and business entities to solicit and recruit Unit Franchisees for the 360 PAINTING System. The Unit Franchise opportunity is the sole business opportunity offered pursuant to this Disclosure Document and is referred to herein as a “360 PAINTING business.” 360 PAINTING Unit Franchises are businesses that provide residential and commercial painting services.

We reserve the right to offer special incentive programs at any time in the future which may decrease any of the fees listed in Items 6 and 7 of this Disclosure Document. Generally, these incentive programs will be conditioned upon you executing a Franchise Agreement or opening your Store by a specified date and may only be available for specific Stores or in specified markets which we determine in our sole discretion. We may alter or discontinue these programs at any time in our sole discretion without notice to you. These incentive programs may not be combined with any other offer or program unless indicated by us in writing. Furthermore, if you have executed a Franchise Agreement before the dates specified for the incentive programs, acquired a 360 Painting location from an existing franchisee via a transfer, or are renewing an existing Franchise Agreement, you are not eligible to receive the incentive program.

Initial Fees

The franchise fee (“Franchise Fee”) for a 360 PAINTING Unit Franchise is $60,000, which must be paid to us in one-lump sum upon signing the Franchise Agreement. This fee is charged for a license to operate from one location in a specific residential territory called the “Protected Territory.” (See Item 12). The Franchise Fee is uniformly calculated for all franchisees under this offering. All initial fees described above are fully earned when paid and are not refundable under any circumstances. We reserve the right to offer special incentive programs at any time which may decrease any of the fees listed in this Item. Generally, these incentive programs will be conditioned upon you executing a Franchise Agreement and may only be available for specific Unit Franchises or in specified markets which we determine at our sole discretion. We may alter or discontinue these programs at any time at our sole discretion without notice to you.

Franchisee Revenue and Profit

The FTC's Franchise Rule permits a franchisor to provide information about the actual or potential financial performance of its franchised and/or franchisor-owned outlets, if there is a reasonable basis for the information, and if the information is included in the disclosure document. Financial performance information that differs from that included in Item 19 may be given only if: (1) a franchisor provides the actual records of an existing outlet you are considering buying; or (2) a franchisor supplements the information provided in this Item 19, for example, by providing information about possible performance at a particular location or under particular circumstances. Below is certain historical financial information regarding 360 Painting franchisees that operated in the United States and Canada from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018. The historical financial information below is based upon information regarding the actual gross sales of 360 Painting franchisees open for business and operating continuously during calendar year 2018. Some franchisees own more than one territory. The primary characteristic of the represented outlets that may differ from those of a new franchisee is that a new franchisee does not have a customer base immediately, and an existing franchisee receives repeat and referral business from its existing customer base. Of the one hundred and six (106) 360 Painting franchisees, that were open for business and operating in the United States and Canada as of December 31, 2018, seventy-seven (77), or 73%, had been in business continuously during calendar year 2018. No data has been included for franchisees who were terminated, not renewed, reacquired or which left our system for other reasons during calendar year 2018, or for any franchisor owned locations. Fifteen (15) 360 Painting franchises ceased operations for other reasons during calendar year 2018. Zero (0) of the fifteen (15) 360 Painting franchises which ceased operations during calendar year 2018 had been opened for business for less than twelve (12) months. See Item 20 for more information. We do not operate any franchisor owned locations. Some outlets have sold this amount. Your individual results may differ. There is no assurance that you'll sell as much. Average and Median Gross Sales The average gross sales of the seventy-seven (77) 360 Painting franchisees described above during calendar year 2018 was $397,783.21. 56% of the seventy-seven (77) 360 Painting franchisees described above (43 franchisees) actually attained or surpassed the average gross sales of $397,783.21 for calendar year 2018. The median gross sales of the referenced 360 Painting franchisees during calendar year 2018 was $309,749.49, with the highest gross sales of a 360 Painting franchisee during the relevant period being $1,094,783.82, and the lowest being $89,376.12. Gross sales is the amount of all sales of all products and services sold by a 360 Painting franchisee in connection with the franchised business, whether evidenced by cash, credit, check, gift certificate, gift card, script or other property or services, without reserve or deduction for inability or failure to 39 collect and includes income of every kind related to the franchised business. Gross sales do not include sales, use, merchants' or other taxes paid to the government or the value of any approved coupons, discounts and refunds to customers. The market in which you operate your franchise may allow you to charge higher prices or force you to charge lower prices for products or services offered by your franchise, which would ultimately affect your average gross sales. The economic conditions and demographic characteristics in the market in which you operate your franchise may differ substantially from those of the markets in which the seventy-seven (77) 360 Painting franchisees referenced in this Item 19 operated during 2018, and if so those differences may substantially affect the number of sales made by your franchise. We strongly recommend that you make your own independent investigation of whether or not the franchise may be “profitable” and confer with your attorney, accountant, or other business advisor before executing any agreement with us. This disclosure does not include any information concerning the identified franchisees' actual operating expenses. The operating expenses that your franchise incurs will depend on the market conditions for that type of expense in your region. These expenses may include, but are not limited to, painting products, personnel and benefits expenses, utilities, advertising rates, automobile costs, facility leases and insurance and workers compensation. See Paragraph 12 of the CA Addendum for more information. The operating software that we license to 360 Painting franchisees estimates the labor costs and the amount of paint and other inventory that will be required for a particular job based on information inputted by the franchisee. The software then establishes a price for the job equal to 2.22 times the projected cost of labor and supplies, which provides for a projected gross margin equal to forty -five percent (45%) of the cost of labor and supplies. This is not a disclosure of the actual costs of labor or goods sold by our franchisees; rather, it is merely an explanation of the pricing and cost estimating methodology employed by the operating software we license to you. The estimates generated by the software are based on the experience of our officers in operating and information provided to us by active 360 Painting franchisees. However, the actual costs and profit margins of existing 360 Painting franchisees can be determined only though discussions with and disclosures from those franchisees. The figures contained in this Item were compiled by us based upon reports of gross sales provided to us by our franchisees. We have assumed that the franchisees' information is accurate, complete and contains no material misrepresentations or omissions. We have not audited or verified this information. This information has not been separately audited or verified by an independent certified public accountant, and it may not have been prepared on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. Written substantiation of the financial performance representation in this Item 19 will be made available to you upon reasonable request. Other than the preceding financial performance representation, 360 Painting, LLC does not make any financial performance representations. We also do not authorize our employees or representatives to make any such representations either orally or in writing. If you are purchasing an existing outlet, however, we may provide you with the actual records of that outlet. If you receive any other financial performance information or projections of your future income, you should report it to the franchisor's management by contacting Paul Flick, 630 Peter Jefferson 40 Parkway, Suite 200, Charlottesville, VA 22911, the Federal Trade Commission, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies.
