About This Portfolio

A home-based insurance franchise with one of the strongest Item 19 disclosures in any category — 25% profit margin on $687K average revenue. The revenue share model is unusual but franchisee-friendly: rather than a fixed royalty, the franchisee keeps a percentage of commissions earned across 100+ carriers. Low investment ($89K–$215K) relative to revenue potential makes this one of the best ROI opportunities in the portfolio. The 5.8-year payback period is exceptional. Requires sales aptitude and insurance licensing — not a passive investment.

A B2B hydraulic hose repair franchise with the highest average unit revenue in the portfolio at $1.84M. The niche category — industrial hydraulic maintenance — has virtually no direct competition and serves manufacturers, construction companies, and heavy equipment operators. The 2.1% attrition rate is exceptional and the 28-year franchising history demonstrates durability. The 4% royalty is below category average. Requires mechanical aptitude and comfort in an industrial environment, which limits the candidate pool but also limits competition for qualified buyers.

A 55-year-old property restoration franchise in a recession-resistant category — revenue comes from insurance claims, not consumer spending. Climate events are driving 9.2% category growth. Very high AUV at $2.84M but requires significant operational complexity and staff management. Strong insurance carrier relationships built over decades are a meaningful competitive moat that new entrants cannot easily replicate. The 55-year track record gives the FDD credibility that emerging brands cannot match.

A residential cleaning franchise with strong unit economics — $892K average revenue on a sub-$144K investment. The pay-for-performance model creates natural incentive alignment between cleaners and the franchise: cleaners earn more when customers rate them highly. PE-backed since 2021 with active growth trajectory. Category growth of 8.3% is one of the strongest in the portfolio. The low initial investment makes this one of the most accessible high-revenue opportunities in the demo.

The world’s largest 24/7 fitness franchise with over 2,300 US locations and 22 years of franchising history. Scores strongly for transparent Item 19 disclosure, fixed monthly royalty structure ($699/month), and low 3.68% franchisee attrition. The 14.8-year payback is long but fully supportable with disclosed data. A sound choice for qualified buyers seeking a lifestyle-compatible semi-absentee fitness franchise with brand recognition in their market.

A well-established food and beverage brand with 33 years of franchising history and strong brand recognition. The concern is unit economics — 9% profit margin on $524K average revenue against a high-end investment of $840K produces an 18.5-year payback. The wide investment range ($264K–$840K) adds risk. The brand has changed ownership multiple times including sale to Mideast investors in 2012. A strong brand in a growing category, but the financial case requires careful location selection and realistic expectations on returns.

An emerging beauty franchise in a growing category, but with material disclosure gaps. No Item 19 means a buyer cannot verify unit economics — the franchisor is asking up to $424K without providing the financial transparency to justify that investment. The franchisor’s financials are not audited. Only 7 years in franchising with limited track record. The category growth is real, but brand risk is high: an unknown brand in a crowded market, asking for significant capital without showing its work.

A 24/7 fitness franchise that has struggled with system contraction — losing a net 180 units over three years. The absence of an Item 19 financial performance disclosure is the primary concern: without it, a buyer cannot independently verify unit economics. Franchisee reviews are mixed to negative, with multiple current operators seeking exit. The estimated 28.5-year payback period (third-party research, not FDD data) raises material viability questions.
