Overview
About
Franchisees operate residential and/or commercial pool maintenance and cleaning services, including weekly chemical balancing, equipment repair, and seasonal opening/closing. Daily operations involve dispatching technicians to customer sites, managing inventory of chemicals and parts, and handling customer service/scheduling. Revenue is typically recurring from service contracts with residential clients and seasonal work fluctuations.

Risk & Legal
A growing but small pool service franchise with regulatory compliance issues, undisclosed profitability metrics, and unprotected territory presents meaningful risks that require validation directly from existing franchisees.
Score breakdown · what drove the 54 / 100 rating
- 01MEDNo Item 19 (average net income) disclosed—unable to validate 5.45% royalty sustainability against actual profitability
- 02MINORRegulatory enforcement action in 2021 by New York State for unregistered franchise sales indicates compliance lapses by franchisor
- 03MEDStrong unit growth (27.8% YoY) may mask quality issues or high churn; 48 units is still a small system with limited track record
- 04MINORUnprotected territory creates direct competition risk and customer cannibalization between franchisees
- 05HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE (ambiguous phrasing)—clarification needed on financial stability of parent company
- 06MINORHigh spread between low ($43,150) and high ($118,250) investment suggests inconsistent market positioning or undefined scope
