FranchiseVerdict summary · 2026
A EMS To You franchise requires a total initial investment of $52K – $79K, including a $25K franchise fee and an ongoing 5.0% royalty[2]. This franchisor makes no financial performance representation in Item 19 of its FDD. Item 19 is voluntary under the FTC Franchise Rule, and this filing states that it makes none, so no revenue or earnings figures are disclosed. Declining to publish one is lawful and is not evidence of how the outlets perform. It does mean that less about this brand can be verified from its filing, and the FranchiseVerdict grade - an editorial assessment, not investment advice - reflects that. FranchiseVerdict grade: C (Average), an editorial assessment, not investment advice. Run a live ROI scan →
Limited operating history: franchising since 2025. A system this young has fewer than three years of Item 20 outlet history and rarely enough SBA loans for a charge-off rate, so its grade rests on less evidence than an established system's. Read its Item 20 tables and talk to its first franchisees before relying on the grade. Other new franchisors

ROI & LBO modelsSingle-unit · 25-unit portfolio · editable
EMS To You makes no financial performance representation in Item 19 of its FDD - a voluntary item under the FTC Franchise Rule - so no unit revenue figures are disclosed. The return models need a revenue figure to start from, and the operating costs that turn gross sales into a profit are in no FDD. Enter your own and the calculator runs on your assumptions — nothing here is modelled until you do.

Financial Performance
No financial performance representation
This franchisor makes no financial performance representation in Item 19 of its FDD. Item 19 is voluntary under the FTC Franchise Rule, and this filing states that it makes none, so no revenue or earnings figures are disclosed. Declining to publish one is lawful and is not evidence of how the outlets perform. It does mean that less about this brand can be verified from its filing, and the FranchiseVerdict grade - an editorial assessment, not investment advice - reflects that.

vs Health & Fitness medians
How EMS To You Compares
Category median of published Health & Fitness brands that report the figure; the middle half spans the 25th to 75th percentile and n counts the brands behind it. Medians are used because a few very large systems pull an average far from the typical brand. Revenue is disclosed gross sales, not profit.

Risk & Legal
This is a nascent, single-unit franchise system with severe data opacity, unproven scalability, and questionable franchisor financial health—making it extremely difficult to validate investment viability.

Franchisor entity revenue (not unit-level)
Item 21 attaches the audited financial statements of the franchisor's AFFILIATE and guarantor, Oxi Fresh Franchising Co., Inc. (as of Dec 31, 2025, 2024, 2023), not the franchisor itself. EMS To You Franchising Co., Inc. is a new Colorado franchisor (incorporated June 27, 2025) with no financials of its own; Oxi Fresh has absolutely and unconditionally guaranteed EMS To You's performance (Guarantee of Performance in Attachment K). All figures are Oxi Fresh's, stated in whole US dollars (statements not in thousands). Auditor opinion is clean/unqualified; going-concern references appear only in standard Management/Auditor Responsibilities boilerplate, not as a substantial-doubt conclusion. Oxi Fresh carries a total stockholder's deficit of -$3,200,727 (liabilities exceed assets) driven by large annual dividend distributions, though it remains operationally profitable (positive net income and operating income all three years).
ⓘ These are the parent company's consolidated financials (the parent guarantees the franchisor), not this brand's standalone results — the figure reflects the whole corporate group, not this brand alone.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a EMS To You franchise?
The total investment to open a EMS To You franchise ranges from $52K – $79K, with an initial franchise fee of $25K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do EMS To You franchise owners earn?
EMS To You makes no financial performance representation in Item 19 of its FDD - a voluntary item under the FTC Franchise Rule - so no unit revenue figures are disclosed. Declining to publish one is lawful and is not evidence of how the outlets perform. It does mean that less about this brand can be verified from its filing, and the FranchiseVerdict grade - an editorial assessment, not investment advice - reflects that. Item 20 of the FDD lists current and former franchisees; asking them directly is the standard way to fill this gap.
Who owns EMS To You?
EMS To You is franchised by EMS To You Franchising Co., Inc.. Its parent company is Barnett Enterprises Corp. (BEC). Source: FDD Item 1, 2026 filing.
What is Item 19 in the EMS To You FDD?
The FDD section where a franchisor may disclose financial performance of its outlets. 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 EMS To You FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is EMS To You's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for EMS To You (fewer than 10 loans on file). Charge-off rates are one way to gauge franchise risk, but not all franchise loans go through the SBA program. We recommend reviewing turnover and closure data in the FDD and speaking with current franchisees.
How many EMS To You franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, EMS To You has 1 total units in the United States.
Is EMS To You a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates EMS To You as a C-grade franchise with a verdict score of 41 out of 100 (higher is better). The grade is a deterministic score built from six weighted dimensions — financial health, unit economics, unit growth, scale, legal, and transparency — then calibrated against SBA loan charge-off rates and FDD age. Transparency is one of the six, so a filing that discloses less scores lower on that dimension than one that discloses more. Our rating is based solely on publicly available FDD and government data; we recommend speaking with current franchisees before making any investment decision. This is not investment advice.
