Data Based On: 152 franchised outlets open and in continuous operation during the entire 2025 calendar year.
* Weighted average gross sales (152 units) from Table 2 ('Gross Sales by Time Period' for 2025) was verified to match the 'All Franchised Centers' average gross sales in Table 1 ('Gross Sales - Centers Operating for the Entire 2025 Calendar Year'): (90 * $1,392,056 + 23 * $845,397 + 39 * $539,424) / 152 = $1,090,570.44, which rounds to $1,090,570. Weighted average gross profit (152 units) from Table 6 ('Gross Profit by Time Period' for 2025) was verified to match the 'All Franchised Centers' average gross profit in Table 5 ('Gross Profit - Centers Operating for the Entire 2025 Calendar Year'): (90 * $1,050,298 + 23 * $663,327 + 39 * $431,688) / 152 = $833,020.875, which rounds to $833,021.

PIRTEK's mobile hydraulic hose service model targets downtime-sensitive industries like mining and construction, promising quick-response revenue streams. Item 19 finally pulls back the curtain on franchisee earnings, while a deep dive into SBA lending uncovers franchisee staying power that defies industry norms. Can this PE-backed brand deliver the industrial goldmine it appears to be?
Item 7 lays out the financial entry: franchise fee of $59,500 within a total investment range of $247,013 to $689,614, covering vans, inventory, and shop setup. Ongoing fees hit 4% royalty plus 1.5% brand/ad fund, layered with $889-$2,978 monthly tech fees, $100 per van tracking, and $500-$3,333 insurance equivalents—stacking up to 6-9% effective costs. Item 19 shines brightest, reporting average gross revenues of $1,090,570 and median $918,916 across locations, signaling robust top-line potential without bottom-line profits disclosed, so operators must factor 30-40% expenses for realistic EBITDA in the $200K-$400K range.
System health metrics bolster the case: 97 SBA loans averaging $498,965 with an elite 1.0% default rate, far below sector averages, reflecting franchisee success and lender confidence. Backed by Princeton Equity Group since entering Rockledge, FL headquarters, PIRTEK's model thrives on B2B repeat business in essential hydraulics. Investors eye the high revenue ceiling against mid-tier costs, but scalability hinges on sales hustle in industrial hubs—strong FDD signals make it a contender for service-minded operators.
