Risk & Legal
Plumbing Paramedics presents caution-level risk due to undisclosed profitability metrics, micro-franchise scale, affiliate litigation history, and aggressive royalty floors that obscure true franchisee economics.
Score breakdown · what drove the 55 / 100 rating
- 01MEDNo Item 19 (Average Net Income) disclosed — impossible to assess true profitability or ROI
- 02MINOROnly 15 units system-wide with unknown growth trajectory — extremely small franchise network raises viability concerns
- 03HIGHRecent litigation: Consent Order against affiliate MaidPro regarding franchise fee deferral violations indicates compliance and disclosure issues within parent organization
- 04MINORRoyalty floor of $1,500/month ($18,000/year) is aggressive for low-revenue months and creates cash flow risk
- 05MEDHigh initial investment ($95,935–$193,260) with no disclosed net income benchmarks makes break-even timeline opaque
