GENERATOR SUPERCENTER

Item 7 outlines initial investment from $474,950 to $868,250, covering real estate, inventory of generators, installation equipment, and working capital—positioning it as a mid-to-high cost entry in home services. Franchise fee is $50,000 (Item 5), with royalties at 4% on generator/install sales plus 6% on maintenance/services (minimum $2,000/month per Item 6), plus IT/CRM fees adding $1,000+ monthly. Item 19 shines here: average gross revenue hits $4,097,161 across units, median $3,873,570, suggesting strong top-line potential from residential and commercial sales, though profitability depends on margins after high fixed costs like inventory and installs.

System health per Item 20 shows 61 franchised locations (up 7% from 57 in 2023), 8 corporate, 3 terminations, and 16 projected new units—steady but not explosive growth since franchising began in 2017. SBA data bolsters appeal: 27 loans averaging $472,693 with just 3.7% default rate, indicating franchisees secure funding and mostly repay. Litigation involves typical post-termination disputes over royalties and non-competes, but low volume relative to units. For investors eyeing $4M+ revenue scale in a recession-resistant niche, the numbers support viability if you manage high upfronts and service ops effectively.
