Item 7 pegs initial investment at $265,204-$356,050, with a hefty $84,000 franchise fee upfront. Ongoing costs include 7% royalty, 2% brand/ad fund, $211 weekly technology fee, and $250 monthly iCat software—pushing total fees beyond 9% of sales plus fixed tech hits. Item 19 shines brightly: average gross revenue clocks $1,418,643, median $1,195,495 across comparable units, suggesting strong top-line potential for operators who nail insurance adjuster relationships and disaster-response networks. Six SBA loans average $553,533, indicating lender confidence despite the capital-intensive startup.

System health shows promise with 165 locations and +18% growth from 34 units in 2023 to 40 in 2024, though projected new units sit at just 3 and 22 transfers signal some churn or strategic shifts under parent EverSmith Brands. No major red flags in terminations, but the niche focus on artwork, electronics, and documents means franchisees must excel in B2B sales to restoration contractors. For hands-on investors with service industry chops, these metrics paint a compelling picture—high revenues offset premium fees if you scale beyond the median.
