Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a Radiant Results franchise?
The total investment to open a Radiant Results franchise ranges from $121K – $445K, with an initial franchise fee of $65K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do Radiant Results franchise owners earn?
Radiant Results does not disclose average franchise owner earnings in their FDD Item 19. Not all franchisors are required to make financial performance representations. We recommend asking existing franchisees directly about their financial experience.
What is Item 19 in the Radiant Results 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 Radiant Results FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is Radiant Results's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for Radiant Results (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 Radiant Results franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, Radiant Results has 2 total units in the United States, including 0 franchised units and 2 company-owned units.
Is Radiant Results a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates Radiant Results as a C-grade franchise with a verdict score of 46 out of 100 (higher is better), based on our analysis of investment costs, revenue data, SBA loan performance, and growth trends. 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.
