Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: Data is based on one Founder Owned Outlet, Surv East Bay, Rhode Island, open for the entire 2024 Calendar Year. The document explicitly states that financial data for franchised Surv Businesses is not included because they have not been in operation for 12 months or more as of December 31, 2024.
* Average gross revenue is taken directly from Table 2 'Total Gross Revenue'. Best guess profit high is taken directly from Table 2 'Direct Gross Profit Less Disclosed Expenses and Franchise Related Expense' ($299,352). This figure represents an operating profit before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, assuming all operating expenses explicitly listed in Table 2 are captured. Best guess profit low is estimated by deducting an additional 10% of Gross Revenue ($139,405) from the best guess profit high figure. This deduction accounts for potential unlisted managerial, administrative, and general operating expenses, as these were explicitly mentioned in Item 19(c) as not necessarily being included in Direct Gross Profit and not explicitly itemized as deductions in Table 2.

Imagine tapping into the endless demand for household help—painting, decluttering, tech setups—through a fresh franchise model that's already turning heads in home services. Surv, barely a year into franchising, discloses Item 19 earnings that suggest outsized potential from a tiny footprint of just four units. But with such rapid early signals, can this to-do list powerhouse scale without stumbling?
Item 7 lays out a lean startup: initial investment from $104,958 to $134,750, including a $50,000 franchise fee. Ongoing fees hit 7% royalty, up to 2% brand fund (not yet charged), plus fixed $1,050/month operating platform, $399/month software, and up to $250/month surveys—totaling around $20K+ annually beyond royalties on average sales. Item 19 shines brightest: average gross revenue clocks $1,394,054 across units, translating to estimated profits of $159,947 to $299,352 after expenses. For a 2024 launch under Cornerstone Franchise Brands, these figures scream efficiency in a fragmented market where homeowners crave one-stop project relief.
System maturity lags with only 4 franchise and 1 corporate location since 2024, but projected 17 new units signal aggressive expansion from Cincinnati HQ. No red flags on terminations or transfers in early FDD data, bolstering confidence. At this revenue scale, a motivated owner-operator could recoup investment in under a year at the high end, though territory protection and membership model execution will dictate real returns—ideal for hands-on hustlers eyeing $1M+ topline without massive overhead.
Analysis based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. All figures should be independently verified before making investment decisions.
