ROI & LBO modelsSingle-unit · 25-unit portfolio · editable
MedXwaste makes no financial performance representation in Item 19 of its FDD - a voluntary item under the FTC Franchise Rule - so no unit revenue figures are disclosed. The return models need a revenue figure to start from, and the operating costs that turn gross sales into a profit are in no FDD. Enter your own and the calculator runs on your assumptions — nothing here is modelled until you do.

vs Healthcare medians
How MedXwaste Compares
Category median of published Healthcare brands that report the figure; the middle half spans the 25th to 75th percentile and n counts the brands behind it. Medians are used because a few very large systems pull an average far from the typical brand. Revenue is disclosed gross sales, not profit.

Risk & Legal
Extreme caution warranted: pre-revenue financial metrics absent, micro-franchise system with unproven unit economics, and high fixed royalty burden relative to startup costs.
Why this reads harsher than the B grade: the grade weighs financial health, unit economics, unit growth, scale, legal, and transparency across the whole filing, while this summary lists individual flags without that weighting. The flags are worth checking with current owners; neither is investment advice.

Figures from the audited financial statements of MedXwaste Franchise LLC (the franchisor entity Item 21 relies on), audited by Day Seckler LLP, for fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (yr1) with prior year December 31, 2023 (yr2). Statements presented in whole US dollars, not in thousands. Total revenue = Total Income of $70,579 = Franchise Revenue $33,929 + Franchise Royalties $36,360 + Other $290. Other revenue = $290. Balance sheet reconciles: total assets $36,371 = total liabilities $262,796 + member's deficit $(226,425). No parent/guarantor entity mixed in; ignored unaudited interim statements through July 31, 2025.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a MedXwaste franchise?
The total investment to open a MedXwaste franchise ranges from $102K – $142K, with an initial franchise fee of $50K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do MedXwaste franchise owners earn?
MedXwaste makes no financial performance representation in Item 19 of its FDD - a voluntary item under the FTC Franchise Rule - so no unit revenue figures are disclosed. Declining to publish one is lawful and is not evidence of how the outlets perform. It does mean that less about this brand can be verified from its filing, and the FranchiseVerdict grade - an editorial assessment, not investment advice - reflects that. Item 20 of the FDD lists current and former franchisees; asking them directly is the standard way to fill this gap.
Who owns MedXwaste?
MedXwaste is franchised by MedXwaste Franchise LLC. Its parent company is MEDXWASTE LLC. Source: FDD Item 1, 2025 filing.
What is Item 19 in the MedXwaste 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 MedXwaste FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is MedXwaste's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for MedXwaste (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 MedXwaste franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, MedXwaste has 9 total units in the United States, including 8 franchised units and 1 company-owned units. 3 new units were opened in the latest reporting year.
Is MedXwaste a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates MedXwaste as a B-grade franchise with a verdict score of 55 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.
