Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What do Image Sun franchise owners earn?

No average owner earnings figure for Image Sun is on file. Item 19 — where a franchisor may disclose what its outlets earn — is voluntary under the FTC Franchise Rule, and we have not established what this brand's FDD says. Item 20 of the FDD lists current and former franchisees; asking them directly is the standard way to fill this gap.

What is Item 19 in the Image Sun 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 Image Sun FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.

What is Image Sun's franchise failure rate?

Based on SBA 7(a) loan data, Image Sun has a charge-off rate of 68.8% across 32 loans, meaning 68.8% of franchise loans were charged off. Charge-off rates are one proxy for franchise risk, though they do not capture all closures. This data comes from FOIA-sourced SBA lending records.
