How much does a Jet-Black franchise make?
Jet-Black is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly from this filing, so we don't print one; Item 19 of the source FDD has the tables. See every home services brand that discloses earnings in the Home services & home improvement franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.
Jet-Black franchise profit vs. revenue
Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come the royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Jet-Black franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Jet-Black franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.
Jet-Black lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
We do not publish a litigation answer for Jet-Black. Item 3 could not be read reliably from this particular filing, and a claim that a company has no legal history is not one to make on a failed parse — so we say we do not know instead. Item 3 of the FDD itself is the place to check; the methodology page explains what we do and do not machine-read.
Jet-Black closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Jet-Black 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 Jet-Black's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a home services 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. Jet-Black's outlet tables did not machine-read cleanly; Item 20 of the source FDD has them.
Who owns Jet-Black?
Jet-Black's franchise is offered by JET-BLACK INTERNATIONAL INC — 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.

Jet-Black franchise — frequently asked
Who owns Jet-Black — who is the franchisor?
Jet-Black's most recently filed FDD (2026) names JET-BLACK INTERNATIONAL INC 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 Jet-Black franchise cost?
Jet-Black's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $110,072 – $179,022. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. Against home services peers it sits in the upper quartile (median $162,725).
How much profit does a Jet-Black franchise make?
Jet-Black discloses unit earnings in Item 19, but that figure is revenue — sales — not profit. Royalties, the ad fund, rent, payroll and supplies all come out of it, and no FDD discloses what an owner nets. Any Jet-Black franchise profit number quoted elsewhere is an estimate.
Does Jet-Black disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
Yes — Jet-Black reports unit-level earnings in Item 19. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly, so check Item 19 of the source FDD for the numbers.
Are there lawsuits against Jet-Black?
We do not publish a litigation answer for Jet-Black: Item 3 could not be read reliably from this filing, and we would rather say so than assert a clean record we have not verified. Item 3 of the FDD itself is the place to check.
Is Jet-Black a good franchise to buy?
Nobody can answer that from Jet-Black's numbers alone — it comes down to how its investment, earnings, litigation and franchisee churn stack up against home services peers and against your own budget. Our read on this filing is medium risk. Every figure behind that read is on this page for free. If you're comparing options, the free shortlist on this page matches you with 5–10 franchises that fit your budget and industry.
