Bottom line
- RETURNSAverage gross sales of $267K/year (reported for a subset of outlets rather than the whole system; 83 outlets reporting; gross sales, not profit).
- GROWTHIn the latest Item 20 year, the number of franchised outlets fell by 6 (17 opened, 23 closed).
- DECLINE-16 franchised outlets over the two years to 2025 (134 to 118, -11.9% in total, -6.2% a year compounded). Ask whether closures are franchisor-driven (consolidation) or franchisee-driven (economics).
AT STAKEOne unit at the Item 7 midpoint: $31K a year in payments on assumed SBA 7(a)-style terms.You put in about $48K of your own cash and personally guarantee a $190K loan. Assumptions are labeled in Sales; not investment advice.See what one unit could make and lose
Things to check before you sign (4)
- Net -6 franchised outlets in 2025 (Item 20, outlet counts). Ask owners why outlets closed.
- SBA 7(a) charge-off 16.7% on 30 resolved loans, loans approved since FY1991, above the Healthcare median of 7.3% (11 brands).
- The franchisor keeps the right to compete inside your territory (Item 12, territory).
- Item 15 (owner participation) requires the owner, or a principal the franchisor approves, to run the business day to day. Ask how much of the business that principal must own.
Checked and clear: no auditor doubt that the franchisor can keep operating, no pending lawsuit naming the franchisor and the full filing on file, and an Item 19 average from 83 units. Not on file here, so ask: jury-trial waiver and supplier rebates.
What to do next
Step 1: Read the FDD itself.
Free: the franchisor must give it to you at least 14 days before you sign or pay. Or look it up in a state registry (Wisconsin, Minnesota, California). What to read first.
Step 2: Talk to current and former owners.
Free: Item 20 of the FDD lists every current owner and those who left last year, most with a phone number. Questions to ask.
Shortcut: the Arcpoint owner list as a CSV, in the Contacts section.
Step 3: Talk to an SBA lender.
Free: the SBA's Lender Match, or the lenders already lending to this brand in the SBA section. Ask what you would personally guarantee and what the monthly payment would be. If you plan to use retirement savings, ask a CPA about the rules for that first.
Step 4: Have a franchise attorney review the FDD and agreement.
Free: your state bar's lawyer referral service can name franchise lawyers, and many offer a short first consultation. Bring the checks listed above.
Research steps, not investment or legal advice.
Can you afford it, and what does the money buy?
Entry cost (the Item 7 midpoint) is 32% below the Healthcare median ($351K).

Do you qualify? The filing states no minimum net worth or liquid capital. Ask ARCpoint Franchise Group, LLC (Item 1: 303 Perimeter Center North, Suite 575, Atlanta, Georgia 30346) and your lender what they require, and keep living costs for the first year outside the deal.

What you could make and lose: one unit
What one Arcpoint unit would ask of you, from the filing's Item 7 total and labeled assumptions.
Average gross sales are $267K, and the royalty and ad fund take about $24K of that a year (Item 6). This brand's Item 19 prints cost or operating-income lines that are not on this page yet. Read them in Item 19 and enter them here. So this box does not estimate a profit. To cover the loan payment alone, one unit has to clear $31K a year after its food, labor, rent and other costs and the franchisor's fees.
How these figures are worked out
- Loan (assumption): 80% of the $238K Item 7 midpoint is a $190K loan, paid over 10 years at 10.5%: $31K a year. SBA 7(a)-style terms on a long-term rate; your lender sets yours. Arcpoint's past SBA 7(a) loans averaged 6.1% at approval; 7(a) rates move with the prime rate, so 10.5% is a current-rate assumption, not this brand's history.
What you put at risk
Your own cash in: about $48K Assumption (the part the loan does not cover of the $238K Item 7 midpoint), plus whatever anything Item 7 leaves out (its notes say what). The loan is $190K.
Personal guarantee. SBA 7(a) loans require a personal guarantee from anyone who owns 20% or more of the business. If the unit cannot pay, the lender can collect from you personally, which can include your savings and your home. The worst case is losing the cash you put in and still owing the rest of the loan.
Gross sales are not profit, and none of these figures is take-home pay until tax and every operating cost are paid. The assumptions are ours, not the filing's. Not investment advice.
Returns modelOne unit · several units · editable
One unit
One unit: what is left after the loan payment
Gross sales, minus the franchisor's fees and the operating costs, is the unit's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). Minus an assumed loan payment, that is what is left for you, before tax. Gross sales are not profit.
This brand's Item 19 prints cost or operating-income lines that are not on this page yet. Read them in Item 19 and enter them here. Invested capital is the Item 7 total, which already includes its working-capital (additional funds) line.
Returns model · one unit
What would one Arcpoint unit leave you each year after the loan payment?
Item 19 reports $266,754 per unit. Reported for a subset of outlets rather than the whole system.
Gross sales, not profit: the costs below decide what is left.
The filing also sets a minimum or cap on these fees: “7% of Gross Revenue per month, subject to a minimum of $350/month”; “Currently 2% of Gross Revenue per month for National Marketing Fund; franchisor may increase to 3%. Local Advertising Requirement separately: $15,000 for first 12 months, then greater of 3% of Gross Sales or $9,000 per 12-month period thereafter.” (Item 6). This model applies the percentages, so at low sales the real fee can be higher than shown here.
Item 6, as stored, a year. A fixed fee, so it comes off EBITDA as dollars, not a share of sales.
This brand's Item 19 prints cost or operating-income lines that are not on this page yet. Read them in Item 19 and enter them here.

Left after the loan payment · per year
The unit's EBITDA minus the assumed loan payment. Before tax, depreciation and any cost your inputs leave out (insurance, accounting and legal, licenses, technology fees): not take-home pay.
Gross sales are not profit. Neither the filing nor a stated assumption on this page supplies direct costs, labor, rent / occupancy and other operating costs. Enter your own (a lease quote, owner calls) and the model runs on it.
Loan of $190K at 10.5% over 10 years, an assumption, not a quote. Return and payback are before tax, depreciation and the costs above. The loan usually needs your personal guarantee.
Buying several existing units? The acquisition scenario
Buying several units
What buying a few existing units could return
Prices an existing operator of a few units off the single-unit EBITDA above, after shared services, and finances it with an SBA 7(a) loan, a conventional loan and a seller note. It shows the yearly return on your cash (IRR), whether year-1 earnings cover the loan payments (DSCR) and how the price is paid for. It starts at 5 units; every deal term is an assumption you can change, and none is from the FDD.
Not modelled yet
Gross sales are not profit. Neither the filing nor a stated assumption on this page supplies direct costs, labor, rent / occupancy and other operating costs. Enter your own (a lease quote, owner calls) and the model runs on it.
This scenario starts from a per-unit EBITDA. Fill in the operating costs in the one-unit model above and it runs on that figure, or take it to the full ROI workbench, where the multi-unit and acquisition models accept your own per-unit economics.
These models are for research and scenario planning only. Not investment advice. Actual results depend on your specific location, management, and market conditions. Consult a franchise attorney and accountant before signing any franchise agreement.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to open a Arcpoint franchise?
Per the 2026 FDD, the total investment to open a Arcpoint franchise ranges from $166K to $310K, with an initial franchise fee of $55K. This is the Item 7 total in the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD): the startup costs the franchisor lists, such as build-out, equipment, inventory and working capital. It usually leaves out buying land or a building; Item 7's notes say what is excluded.
What do Arcpoint franchise owners earn?

What is Item 19 in the Arcpoint FDD?

Disclosure is optional and formats vary; figures are typically gross sales, which is revenue before expenses, not profit. FranchiseVerdict extracts these figures directly from the Arcpoint FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is Arcpoint's franchise failure rate?
There is no published franchise failure rate. What is measurable is Arcpoint's SBA charge-off rate: 16.7% on 30 resolved loans. Put plainly: 1 in 6 SBA 7(a) loans to Arcpoint owners charged off (5 of 30 resolved loans, approved since FY1991); loans approved FY2014–FY2017: 4 of 28 resolved loans charged off (14.3%); newer loans have not had time to default, so this is not a trend. The SBA charge-off rate is the share of a brand's resolved SBA 7(a) loans to its franchisees that the SBA wrote off, including purchased guarantees. Resolved means paid in full or charged off; active loans are excluded because their outcome is not yet known. It is a lending outcome, not a count of closed businesses. A franchisee can repay and close, or default and keep trading.
