1 Percent Lists franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: 1 Percent Lists does not disclose franchise profit or revenue. Its most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-backed earnings figure for 1 Percent Lists — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (22% of real estate franchisors in our corpus do disclose); the fees, litigation and outlet churn 1 Percent Lists's FDD does contain are on this page. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Real estate franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
1 Percent Lists lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
1 Percent Lists's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) does disclose 2 legal proceedings in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against 1 Percent Lists itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. 2 of those proceedings were brought by franchisees against the franchisor — the split that actually matters, because franchisees suing their franchisor is the signal a buyer is looking for. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.
1 Percent Lists closures & failure rate
Before you sign, 1 Percent Lists will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what 1 Percent Lists's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a real estate of this kind.
The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. 1 Percent Lists's latest tables show a growing franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 8.9%, against a real estate median of 6.3% — worse than the category. Net franchised outlets moved +5 to 50 in the latest reported year.
Who owns 1 Percent Lists?
1 Percent Lists's franchise is offered by 1 Percent Lists Franchises, LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at WI DFI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.

1 Percent Lists franchise — frequently asked
Who owns 1 Percent Lists — who is the franchisor?
1 Percent Lists's most recently filed FDD (2026) names 1 Percent Lists Franchises, LLC as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself.

How much profit does a 1 Percent Lists franchise make?
1 Percent Lists makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for 1 Percent Lists at all — and profit would never be disclosed even where earnings are, because it depends on your rent, labor and how you operate. Any profit figure quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure.
