Liftology franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Liftology 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 Liftology — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (77% of home services franchisors in our corpus do disclose); the fees, litigation and outlet churn Liftology's FDD does contain are on this page.

Liftology lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Liftology's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025) does disclose 1 legal proceeding 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 Liftology 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.
Liftology closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Liftology 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 Liftology'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. Liftology reports no franchised units open yet — there is no operating track record to churn.
Who owns Liftology?
Liftology's franchise is offered by Liftology Franchise Corporation — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025), 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.

Liftology franchise — frequently asked
Who owns Liftology — who is the franchisor?
Liftology's most recently filed FDD (2025) names Liftology Franchise Corporation 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 Liftology franchise cost?
Liftology's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $187,800 – $427,750, with an initial franchise fee of $30,000 and a 7% royalty. 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 bottom quartile (median $162,725).
How much profit does a Liftology franchise make?
Liftology makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for Liftology 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 Liftology disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
No — Liftology's most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation. Its absence is worth weighing: 77% of home services franchisors in our corpus do disclose.
Are there lawsuits against Liftology?
Liftology's most recently filed FDD (2025) discloses 1 legal proceeding in Item 3. Item 3 covers the franchisor, its predecessors, parents and affiliates — so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Liftology itself, and a disclosure is not a finding of wrongdoing.
Is Liftology a good franchise to buy?
Nobody can answer that from Liftology'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.
