Data Based On: 30 franchised Storm Guard® businesses open throughout the entire reporting period (January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024), excluding company-owned businesses and those not providing financial information.

* Average net income was calculated as Average Gross Profit ($1,277,880) minus Average Total Expenses ($1,077,140). Footnote (14) states that 'Other' expenses, a component of 'Total Expenses' (Footnote 15), include depreciation, amortization, interest, and taxes, thus making this calculation representative of net income. Average EBITDA is based on 'EBITDA Plus Owner Comp.' as explicitly stated in the FDD, and this value ($375,370) was used for average_ebitda. EBITDA margin percentage was calculated as average_ebitda / average_gross_revenue. Best guess profit low uses average_net_income, and best guess profit high uses average_ebitda (EBITDA Plus Owner Comp.) as different profit metrics provided.

Storm Guard Franchise Analysis

Storm Guard's storm restoration niche taps into unpredictable weather events for high-volume repair jobs, setting it apart in home services. Item 19 delivers revenue and profit insights for its compact 35-unit system, while SBA lending history uncovers financing realities. Yet with such explosive per-unit sales potential, why does the network grow so slowly—and what does that signal for new entrants?

Item 7 outlines total initial investment at $209,300-$247,600, including a $65,000 franchise fee, reflecting setup for roofing, siding, and gutter work with insurance coordination tools. Ongoing fees hit 6.2% royalty (tiered down post-$4M sales), 0.8% brand fund, plus $546-$606 monthly tech stack like Acculynx and Xactimate. Item 19 shines with average gross revenue of $2,675,070 and median $2,117,495 across locations, but EBITDA margin sits at 0%, translating to estimated profits of $200,740-$375,370—solid top-line yet razor-thin after expenses and fees.

System health shows cautious expansion: 34 units in 2023 to 35 in 2024 (+3%), just 2 projected new units, and 1 transfer. SBA records 25 loans averaging $176,080 with a 12% default rate, higher than many peers, suggesting financing access but elevated risk. For investors eyeing home improvement, Storm Guard offers revenue upside in storm belts, but 0% margins and sluggish growth demand scrutiny of operational scalability before committing.
