Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a FUSE Service franchise?
The total investment to open a FUSE Service franchise ranges from $92K – $223K, with an initial franchise fee of $24K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do FUSE Service franchise owners earn?
FUSE Service 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 FUSE Service 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 FUSE Service FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is FUSE Service's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for FUSE Service (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 FUSE Service franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, FUSE Service has 35 total units in the United States, including 34 franchised units and 1 company-owned units. 22 new units were opened in the latest reporting year.
Is FUSE Service a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates FUSE Service as a A-grade franchise with a verdict score of 66 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.
