Item 7 in the 2025 FDD outlines a single-unit entry at $161,444 to $297,444, including a steep $59,900 franchise fee that's premium for a brand franchising since 2022. Ongoing fees blend a tiered royalty dropping from 6% to 4%, plus 1% brand fund, and notable monthly add-ons: $500 for marketing management, $599 technology fee, and $249 online presence—totaling about $1,348 monthly extras that could pressure cash flow early on. Item 19 shines brightly with average gross revenues of $1,251,269 and median $1,054,051, suggesting strong top-line potential for fence installers serving residential and commercial clients in exclusive territories.

System metrics paint a picture of aggressive growth: from 93 locations in 2023 to 167 in 2024 (+80%), with 44 projected new units, 17 transfers, and only 1 termination—low churn for a young network headquartered in Huntersville, NC. SBA data shows 23 loans averaging $161,874, aligning with low-end investment and indicating accessible financing without sky-high defaults. For hands-on operators eyeing home services, the revenue scale tempts, but those layered fees and new-brand risks mean scrutinizing local market demand for wood, vinyl, and steel fencing before committing; proven unit economics could make it a fence-line winner.
