NATURALAWN OF AMERICA

Item 7 lays out the initial investment from $57,500 to $122,650, including a $29,500 franchise fee that secures your exclusive turf for organic fertilization, aeration, and pest control visits 5-8 times yearly to homes and businesses. Ongoing fees bite at 9% royalty plus 1% brand fund, standard but hefty for services—expect them to claim about 10% of gross. Item 19 shines here: average gross revenue hits $2,227,373 per unit, though median drops to $1,083,400, signaling top performers skew the average while half land under $1.1M. Subtract costs like labor, organics, and equipment, and profitability hinges on scaling visits in your region; no explicit profits given, but those SBA stats (6 loans averaging $355,533) suggest lenders back mid-six-figure startups.

System maturity since 1989 shows stability over flash—89 franchised plus 10 corporate locations grew just 5% from 85 to 89 last year, with 7 new units projected. No major red flags in terminations or transfers per FDD summaries, but modest growth means less hype, more niche appeal for hands-on operators targeting eco-conscious clients. If you're eyeing home services without massive capital, this low-end investment range competes well against chemical giants, but validate local demand for 'natural' before signing—Item 19's revenue spread rewards efficient territories.
