FranchiseVerdict summary · 2026
A Hang It Up TVs franchise requires a total initial investment of $50K – $85K, including a $35K franchise fee and an ongoing 6.0% royalty[2]. The 2025 FDD on file does not yield a unit-revenue figure we can publish. 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

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a Hang It Up TVs franchise?
The total investment to open a Hang It Up TVs franchise ranges from $50K – $85K, with an initial franchise fee of $35K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do Hang It Up TVs franchise owners earn?
Item 19 of the Hang It Up TVs FDD discloses figures for part of the system but no single average across all outlets. These are gross sales figures, not profit; the Revenue section shows what the filing reports and on what basis. Item 20 of the FDD lists current and former franchisees; asking them directly is the standard way to fill this gap.
Who owns Hang It Up TVs?
Hang It Up TVs is franchised by Hang It Up TVs Franchising, LLC. Source: FDD Item 1, 2025 filing.
What is Item 19 in the Hang It Up TVs 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 Hang It Up TVs FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is Hang It Up TVs's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for Hang It Up TVs (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 Hang It Up TVs franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, Hang It Up TVs has 1 total units in the United States.
Is Hang It Up TVs a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates Hang It Up TVs as a C-grade franchise with a verdict score of 38 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.
