Item 7 in the 2026 FDD lays out a hefty initial investment range of $116,024 to $590,244, reflecting the shift from home-based operations to a required warehouse within year one—warehouse costs and vehicles drive the upper end. Franchise fee sits at $45,000, with ongoing royalties at 7% of gross sales plus 2% into the brand/ad fund, and fixed monthly fees of $425 ($100 tech, $325 Workiz software). No Item 19 earnings disclosure means no validated revenue or profit figures, a red flag in services where averages hover $500K-$1M; without this, you're blind to real ROI, especially with only 6 locations (up 100% from 3 in 2024) under parent Alliance Franchise Holdings LLC.

System health shows promise with 8 projected new units, but litigation notes flag termination disputes and fee collections—common growing pains for young brands (launched recently from Plymouth, MI HQ), yet they underscore enforcement risks. SBA default rates aren't detailed, but low unit count amplifies volatility; compare to category norms where business services like signage often see 10-20% contraction in startups. For hands-on operators targeting sign companies, the model's scalability shines if you stomach the wide cost spread and opacity—ideal for trades pros, risky for passive investors without proven unit economics.
