Overview

About

Franchisees operate building maintenance service businesses, providing cleaning, maintenance, and facility management to commercial clients on recurring service contracts. Revenue is billed monthly to accounts, with 15% of each account's billed revenue paid as royalty to the franchisor. Success depends on acquiring and retaining commercial clients while managing service delivery and labor costs.

Risk & Legal

67
Risk · 0-100
MODERATE67 / 100

A contracting franchise system with excessive royalty rates, undisclosed profitability metrics, and potential franchisor financial instability presents significant risk for new franchisees.

Score breakdown · what drove the 67 / 100 rating

  1. 01MEDUnit count declined 23.1% YoY (10 units) indicating system contraction and potential franchisee dissatisfaction
  2. 02MINORNo net income disclosure despite $1.4M avg revenue suggests profitability concerns or FDD non-compliance
  3. 03MINOR15% royalty on billed revenue is extremely high for building maintenance services (industry standard: 5-8%)
  4. 04MINORHigh investment range ($109K-$357K) combined with declining units suggests poor ROI expectations
  5. 05HIGHNo 'Going Concern' statement is FALSE, which may indicate franchisor financial instability or undisclosed issues
  6. 06MINORLow franchise fee ($9,995) relative to total investment suggests front-loaded royalty model to extract cash flow
  7. 07MINORItem 19 (Financial Performance Representations) absent—critical metric for validating the $1.4M average revenue claim
