No Item 19 revenue figure for ReUp Living is on file. 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 Home Services medians
How ReUp Living Compares
Category median of published Home Services 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.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a ReUp Living franchise?
The total investment to open a ReUp Living franchise ranges from $84K – $162K, 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 ReUp Living franchise owners earn?
Item 19 of the ReUp Living FDD discloses figures for part of the system but no single average across all outlets. These are gross sales figures, not profit; the Revenue section shows what the filing reports and on what basis. Item 20 of the FDD lists current and former franchisees; asking them directly is the standard way to fill this gap.
Who owns ReUp Living?
ReUp Living is franchised by ReUp Galaxy Holdings, LLC. Its parent company is ReUp Technologies, Inc.. Source: FDD Item 1, 2024 filing.
What is Item 19 in the ReUp Living 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 ReUp Living FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is ReUp Living's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for ReUp Living (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 ReUp Living franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, ReUp Living has 11 total units in the United States, including 10 franchised units and 1 company-owned units. 8 new units were opened in the latest reporting year.
Is ReUp Living a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates ReUp Living as a B-grade franchise with a verdict score of 56 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.
