Bottom line
- COSTTotal investment $52K – $79K including a $25K franchise fee, 5.0% ongoing royalty.
- RETURNSItem 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).
- RISKVerdict C (Average), verdict score 41/100 (higher is better).
- DATANo Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

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 does not disclose average franchise owner earnings in their FDD Item 19. Not all franchisors are required to make financial performance representations. We recommend asking existing franchisees directly about their financial experience.
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, including 0 franchised units and 1 company-owned units.
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), based on our analysis of investment costs, revenue data, SBA loan performance, and growth trends. 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.
