WINDOW HERO

Item 7 details the initial investment range of $198,644 to $358,944, led by a $54,900 franchise fee, targeting entrepreneurs in residential and light commercial exterior cleaning like windows, pressure washing, and gutters—now even with drone tech for commercials. Ongoing fees stack up to 7% royalty, 2% brand/ad fund, plus fixed $599/month tech fee, $500/month marketing management, and $249/month online presence—potentially adding $20K+ annually before royalties on growing sales. Item 19 shines with average gross revenues of $662,634 and median $517,285 across units, translating to estimated owner profits of $64,342 to $121,693, though the reported 0% EBITDA margin flags potential cost pressures squeezing bottoms lines despite top-line strength.

Launched franchising in 2022 from Huntersville, NC, the system doubled from 35 locations in 2023 to 62 in 2024—a 77% surge—with 42 projected new units signaling aggressive expansion. Yet health data raises flags: 3 terminations and 4 transfers amid 62 units suggest some early attrition, while 13 SBA loans averaging $159,738 indicate accessible financing but reliance on debt. This trajectory means high-growth opportunity in a fragmented market, but new franchisees face untested scalability risks—strong revenues tempt, yet fee burdens and zero margins warn of tight profitability unless sales hit top averages.
