Computed from the 11 entries listed below, each sourced from its own FDD -- not an industry-wide estimate.

How home services compares to the rest of the portfolio

Home Services franchises here average a low-end investment of $168,982, against $607,082 across all 130 brands verified on the site -- about 72% lower than the portfolio average.

Royalties here average 7.4% of gross sales, against 6.1% across every verified brand on the site.

55% of the 11 verified home services brands are in a net-growth year by their latest Item 20 filing.

The investment range above is Item 7 of each home services franchisor's FDD -- it bundles the initial franchise fee with real estate or lease costs, equipment and signage, opening inventory, training expenses, and a working-capital reserve, not just the fee itself. Two home services brands with the same fee can still land at very different totals depending on how much build-out their concept needs.
