Black Optix Tint

Item 7 in the 2025 FDD outlines a total initial investment ranging from $245,982 to $347,574, encompassing the $49,500 franchise fee, build-out for tinting bays, equipment like plotters and film applicators, and three months' working capital. Ongoing fees stack up with a 6% royalty on gross sales, 2% brand/ad fund contribution, plus fixed monthlies: $1,500 local marketing, $300 technology, $675-$850 bookkeeping, and $299-$350 software—potentially eating 10-12% of revenue at scale. Item 19 shines brightly here, reporting average gross revenue of $448,140 and median of $344,602 across the system's 24 franchised and 1 corporate location, suggesting top performers exceed $500K while the middle pack holds steady in the mid-$300Ks; no net profit figures are provided, but these topline stats imply 20-30% EBITDA margins are plausible after fees and labor in a high-margin service like tinting.

The system's health screams momentum: locations doubled from 11 in 2023 to 24 in 2024 (+118% growth), with 6 projected new units, just 1 transfer, and minimal disruptions reported. Eight SBA loans averaging $146,563 underscore bank backing for expansions. For buyers eyeing this automotive niche, probe territory protections, supply chain reliability for films and wraps via parent UFG, and validation calls on median revenue achievability amid competition from independents—key to confirming if Black Optix Tint's polish translates to your bottom line.
