How much does a Service Experts franchise make?

Service Experts 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 is $6,881,668 in average unit revenue — read it alongside what Item 19 says about which units it covers (often only mature or top-performing locations). See every home services brand that discloses earnings in the Home services & home improvement franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.

Service Experts 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 Service Experts's 6% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Service Experts franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Service Experts franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $6,881,668 of revenue, a 6% royalty alone is about $412,900 a year before any other cost.

Service Experts lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Service Experts's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) 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 Service Experts 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.

Service Experts closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Service Experts 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 Service Experts'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. Service Experts's latest tables show a growing franchised network. Net franchised outlets moved +2 to 2 in the latest reported year.

Who owns Service Experts?

Service Experts's franchise is offered by Service Experts Franchising 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.

Service Experts franchise — frequently asked

Who owns Service Experts — who is the franchisor?

Service Experts's most recently filed FDD (2026) names Service Experts Franchising 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 Service Experts franchise cost?

Service Experts's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $148,750 – $288,900, with an initial franchise fee of $59,900 and a 6% 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 lower quartile (median $162,725).

How much profit does a Service Experts franchise make?

Service Experts discloses unit earnings in Item 19, but that figure is revenue — sales — not profit. Royalties (6% of gross for Service Experts), the ad fund, rent, payroll and supplies all come out of it, and no FDD discloses what an owner nets. Any Service Experts franchise profit number quoted elsewhere is an estimate. The headline figure Service Experts discloses is $6,881,668 in average unit revenue.

Does Service Experts disclose financial performance (Item 19)?

Yes — Service Experts reports unit-level earnings in Item 19. The headline figure is $6,881,668 in average unit revenue, as the franchisor states it.

Are there lawsuits against Service Experts?

Service Experts's most recently filed FDD (2026) 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 Service Experts itself, and a disclosure is not a finding of wrongdoing.

Is Service Experts a good franchise to buy?

Nobody can answer that from Service Experts'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 low 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.
