Item 7 lays out the initial investment from $84,570 to $204,824, covering the $33,000 franchise fee, vehicles, tools, inventory, and three months' operating capital. Ongoing fees hit 6% royalty (minimum $1,500/month), 1.5%+ tiered brand fund, and $100/month tech fee—standard for services but with a floor that protects franchisor cash flow even in slow starts. Item 19 shines brightest: average gross revenue $3,751,929 and median $1,312,893 across units, signaling top performers crush it while half land above $1.3M—far better than many electrical franchisors. With 23 SBA loans averaging $240,457, financing is accessible for qualified buyers converting existing businesses or starting fresh.

System growth jumped 27% from 164 to 209 locations in 2024, with 42 projected new units, just 3 terminations, and 5 transfers—low churn for a 2006-launched brand under Authority Brands. Litigation mostly involves franchisor enforcing non-competes and collecting fees from ex-franchisees, plus one franchisee suit over non-competes and data sharing, but no systemic red flags. For hands-on operators in home services targeting homeowners and small commercial spots, these metrics suggest strong unit-level economics and expansion momentum, especially if you leverage the proprietary branding and training to stand out from independents.
