Biosweep® franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Biosweep® 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 Biosweep® — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (74% of cleaning & restoration franchisors in our corpus do disclose); the fees, litigation and outlet churn Biosweep®'s FDD does contain are on this page.

Biosweep® lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Biosweep®'s most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) does disclose 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 Biosweep® 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. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.
Biosweep® closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Biosweep® 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 Biosweep®'s most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a cleaning & restoration 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. Biosweep®'s latest tables show a stable franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 0%, against a cleaning & restoration median of 4% — at or better than the category. Net franchised outlets moved 0 to 40 in the latest reported year.
Who owns Biosweep®?
Biosweep®'s franchise is offered by Phocatox Technologies, 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.

Biosweep® franchise — frequently asked
Who owns Biosweep® — who is the franchisor?
Biosweep®'s most recently filed FDD (2026) names Phocatox Technologies, LLC as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself. A registry filing names the franchisor, not necessarily its ultimate parent company.
How much does a Biosweep® franchise cost?
Biosweep®'s most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $160,804 – $185,884 and a 5% royalty. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. Against cleaning & restoration peers it sits in the upper quartile (median $180,063).
How much profit does a Biosweep® franchise make?
Biosweep® makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for Biosweep® 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.
Does Biosweep® disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
No — Biosweep®'s most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation. Its absence is worth weighing: 74% of cleaning & restoration franchisors in our corpus do disclose.
Are there lawsuits against Biosweep®?
Biosweep®'s most recently filed FDD (2026) discloses legal proceedings in Item 3. Item 3 covers the franchisor, its predecessors, parents and affiliates — so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Biosweep® itself, and a disclosure is not a finding of wrongdoing.
Is Biosweep® a good franchise to buy?
Nobody can answer that from Biosweep®'s numbers alone — it comes down to how its investment, earnings, litigation and franchisee churn stack up against cleaning & restoration peers and against your own budget.
