Ultra Pool Care Squad

Item 7 lays out the initial investment at $74,305 to $101,230, covering the $25,000 franchise fee, equipment, inventory, and initial marketing—ideal for a home office setup with minimal real estate costs. Ongoing fees hit 7.5% of gross sales for royalties, 2.5% for the ad fund, plus a flat $250 monthly tech fee for proprietary software. No Item 19 means no disclosed revenue or profit figures, so you're piecing together viability from the basics: seasonal demand in warmer regions could mean steady cash flow from maintenance contracts, but without hard earnings data, profitability hinges on your hustle in middle-to-upper-income areas.

System stats scream 'emerging opportunity with caution'—only 4 franchised units since 2021, zero company-owned, and plans for 5 new ones signal modest optimism from HQ in Knoxville, TN. No major red flags like high terminations or transfers in the FDD, but the youth of the brand (under PF Global Business Group) means unproven staying power versus giants like Poolwerx. For a hands-on operator eyeing $80K-ish entry in home services, it beats high-investment cleaners, but the lack of financial transparency and small scale suggest testing waters via discovery day before diving in.
