Tax, printing, signs, shipping, insurance, real estate and IT. 13 business-services brands with a current FDD, listed alphabetically.
Opening one unit of the 13 business-services brands here runs from $10,500 at the low end of Item 7 (Jani-King) to $606,081 at the high end (The UPS Store). Where the franchisor gives one unit revenue figure (6 of 13), the median unit sold from $138,300 (Jackson Hewitt) to $823,726 (FASTSIGNS) in its own Item 19 period. Three-year closure rates from Item 20 run from 3.1% (The UPS Store) to 66.3% (Brightway Insurance).
Bands, not a ranking: each brand's figures use its own measure, sample, period and Item 7 inclusions, so no two are comparable on one number. The brand page says what each figure includes.
