UBREAKIFIX BY ASURION

Item 7 lays out the financial entry: $40,000 franchise fee within a total investment of $171,350 to $468,150, covering build-out for stores or mobile units in suburban districts. Ongoing fees hit 7% royalty (dropping to 4% on recommerce), 2% brand fund, 1% tech fee, and $250-$667 monthly insurance. Item 19 shines brightly with average gross revenue of $600,192 and median $593,881 across reporting units, fueled by repairs for phones, laptops, and consoles plus device resale—national deals with Verizon, Samsung, and others drive volume for small-business targeted franchisees. SBA data reinforces viability, with 62 loans averaging $153,500, signaling lender confidence in cash flow potential.

System health shows mixed signals: 549 franchised locations (down 0.36% from 551 in 2024 per Item 20), 128 corporate, 13 terminations, but 61 transfers and 15 projected new units suggest active reshuffling rather than outright decline. Franchising since 2013 under Asurion, litigation clusters around contract breaches and fee disputes (Item 3), typical for service brands but worth scrutinizing. High gross sales offset fees for potential 20-30% EBITDA margins if costs align, yet flat growth demands caution—ideal for operators with tech savvy and multi-unit ambitions, but single-unit buyers face competitive repair markets.
