Overview

About

New Again Houses franchisees typically operate in home renovation, restoration, or property rehabilitation services. Day-to-day operations likely involve estimating damage/renovation scope, managing subcontractors, coordinating with insurance adjusters or homeowners, and overseeing project timelines and quality control. Revenue typically comes from insurance claims, direct homeowner contracts, or wholesale property flipping arrangements.

Risk & Legal

62
Risk · 0-100
MODERATE62 / 100

Stagnant unit growth, missing critical financial disclosures, and unverified income claims create material risk despite low litigation history and protected territory.

Score breakdown · what drove the 62 / 100 rating

  1. 01MEDAverage net income of $696,369 is NOT disclosed in FDD Item 19 — this figure appears sourced elsewhere and cannot be verified; franchisor transparency is compromised
  2. 02MINOROnly 49 units with 2.1% YoY growth indicates stagnant/declining system momentum — minimal expansion suggests market saturation or franchisee dissatisfaction
  3. 03MINORGross revenue figures withheld entirely — impossible to validate the $696K net income claim or calculate true ROI; red flag for franchisor accountability
  4. 04MEDHigh initial investment ($127K-$208K) paired with slow growth and undisclosed revenue metrics creates unfavorable risk-reward profile
  5. 05HIGH'Going Concern' status listed as False but lacks clarity — needs verification whether franchisor has disclosed liquidity/solvency issues in Item 23
