Bottom line
- Total investment $109K – $174K including a $30K franchise fee.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 65/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 9 loans (below the industry average).
- No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Risk & Legal
Duraclean presents elevated risk due to a contracting unit base, undisclosed financial performance metrics, unprotected territory, and a financial structure that may not support adequate franchisee profitability.
Score breakdown · what drove the 65 / 100 rating
- 01MINORUnit count declining 3.2% year-over-year indicates shrinking franchise system and potential market saturation or franchisee dissatisfaction
- 02MINORNo average revenue or net income disclosure in Item 19 prevents accurate ROI assessment and hides performance data from prospects
- 03MINORUnprotected territory creates direct competition risk where franchisor can place additional franchisees in your market, cannibalizing revenue
- 04MINORTiered royalty structure with $83 minimum means unprofitable months still require payment, reducing cash flow flexibility
- 05MEDInitial investment of $108,704–$174,004 with no disclosed average revenue makes payback period impossible to calculate
- 06MINOR5-year term is shorter than industry standard (10 years), creating renewal uncertainty and less time to recoup investment
