GARAGE FORCE

Garage Force franchises provide products and services for residential garages, including the application and installation of coatings for concrete floors, repair, maintenance, and renovation of concrete surfaces, and the design and installation of cabinets and related storage accessories and organization systems. Franchisees operate within exclusive territories with a minimum population base of 200,000, serving residential customers in developed markets with generally non-seasonal offerings. The business model requires an initial investment of $132,900 to $200,600, including fees paid to the franchisor, with options for additional territories.

Data Based On: 42 single-unit existing franchised Garage Force Businesses that had been open and continuously operating in the U.S. on a full-time basis for at least one full calendar year as of December 31, 2024.

* The document provides 'Average Profit Per Invoice' for franchisees (average of $3,410), which is defined as Annual Gross Revenue less Continuing Fees, Branding Fees, and Product Costs, divided by Annual Invoices. This is not equivalent to 'Net Income' or 'Net Profit' as it specifically excludes various other operating expenses (e.g., labor, local advertising, fuel, equipment maintenance, insurance, professional services, licensing costs, rent, utilities, depreciation/amortization) that are critical for determining overall profitability. Furthermore, detailed expense percentages are only provided for the company-owned business (Chart II), and explicitly state they exclude other significant operating costs. Due to the lack of comprehensive and specific expense data for franchised units, a reliable 'best guess profit low' and 'best guess profit high' cannot be accurately estimated without making significant and unsupported assumptions.
