Item 7 lays out the financial entry: total investment ranges from $113,700 to $287,500, including a $50,000 franchise fee (Item 5). Ongoing fees ramp up smartly—royalty starts at 1% in year one, scaling to 5% by year five and beyond, plus 1% brand fund (Item 6). Item 19 shines brightly, reporting average and median gross revenues of $2,201,338 across franchised units, a standout figure suggesting strong per-master performance given the lean 2 franchise locations versus 13 corporate and explosive subfranchise growth from 956 to 1,121 units (+17%).

This paints a healthy system: robust growth signals demand for the three-tier subfranchise structure (Technician, On-Site Manager, Corporate Programs), where masters handle sales, training, billing, and even operate units. High revenues offset the investment quickly if you scale subs effectively, but the identical avg/median hints at a small sample—likely those two masters driving the numbers. Item 20 would clarify openings/closures, but +17% expansion beats contraction risks in services. For hands-on operators eyeing scalability over solo cleaning, the numbers scream potential; just confirm via FDD contacts if your area supports subfranchise saturation.
