THE BROTHERS THAT JUST DO GUTTERS

Item 7 lays out the initial investment at $143,750 to $205,000, covering the $49,500 franchise fee, vehicles, equipment, and initial marketing. Ongoing fees hit 6% royalty plus 2% brand fund and a $200 monthly tech fee (up to $500), which is standard but adds up in a service biz. Without Item 19, there's no official revenue or profit data, forcing buyers to dig into alternatives like the 71 SBA loans averaging $177,411 with a tight 2.8% default rate—far below industry averages, signaling franchisees are repaying reliably even in a competitive field.

System metrics show steady expansion: 93 locations in 2022 jumped to 108 in 2023 (+16%), now at 110 total with 10 projected new units. But 11 terminations and 12 transfers over the year hint at some churn, typical for a mid-sized service brand pushing growth. For a hands-on operator targeting homeowners and commercial properties, this setup offers low-entry barriers versus broader home services, backed by proprietary systems—yet the lack of earnings disclosure means validating unit economics through validation calls is crucial before committing.
