Item 7 details the $89,850-$113,000 initial investment, including a hefty $65,000 franchise fee that covers proprietary CRM, manuals, and territory rights. Ongoing fees skip royalties for fixed $2,100 monthly ($1,000 support, $500 lead tech, $500 franchisor leads, $100 conference), plus a brand fund up to $2,000 (currently $0), potentially hitting $4,100 total—but notes suggest max ~$6,000/mo under some scenarios. No Item 19 means no revenue or profit benchmarks, forcing reliance on opaque commission splits; three SBA loans averaging $105,000 hint at financing viability but low volume signals limited scale.

System health flags risks: -48% contraction (29 to 15 locations) since franchising in 2018, paired with 18 terminations amid litigation over a former franchisee's competitive launch (breach, trademarks, secrets). Projected 22 new units show franchisor ambition, but high churn in a young system questions sustainability for home-based operators targeting outsourcing firms. Low entry beats many services franchises, yet absent financials and volatility make it a gamble—ideal only if you thrive on lead-gen without proven earnings proof.
