Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a SOLENVIA franchise?
The total investment to open a SOLENVIA franchise ranges from $160K – $286K, with an initial franchise fee of $60K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do SOLENVIA franchise owners earn?
SOLENVIA 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 SOLENVIA 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 SOLENVIA FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is SOLENVIA's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for SOLENVIA (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 SOLENVIA franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, SOLENVIA has 1 total units in the United States, including 0 franchised units and 1 company-owned units.
Is SOLENVIA a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates SOLENVIA as a D-grade franchise with a verdict score of 38 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.
