How much does a Silbar Security franchise make?
Silbar Security 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 other brand that discloses earnings in the Other franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.
Silbar Security 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 Silbar Security's 5% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Silbar Security franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Silbar Security franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.
Silbar Security lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Silbar Security's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) discloses no litigation in Item 3. That is a real signal rather than a gap: the FTC Franchise Rule requires a franchisor to disclose material litigation involving itself, its predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 in a current filing means there was nothing it was required to report. It is worth reading alongside the churn numbers — a system can have a clean Item 3 and still be losing franchisees, which is what Item 20 shows.
Silbar Security closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Silbar Security 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 Silbar Security's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a other 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. Silbar Security's latest tables show a stable franchised network. Net franchised outlets moved 0 to 7 in the latest reported year.
Who owns Silbar Security?
Silbar Security's franchise is offered by Silbar Franchise Group Corporation — 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.

Silbar Security franchise — frequently asked
Who owns Silbar Security — who is the franchisor?
Silbar Security's most recently filed FDD (2026) names Silbar Franchise Group 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 Silbar Security franchise cost?
Silbar Security's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $145,500 – $279,400, with an initial franchise fee of $50,000 and a 5% royalty. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. Against other peers it sits in the upper quartile (median $227,750).
How much profit does a Silbar Security franchise make?
Silbar Security discloses unit earnings in Item 19, but that figure is revenue — sales — not profit. Royalties (5% of gross for Silbar Security), the ad fund, rent, payroll and supplies all come out of it, and no FDD discloses what an owner nets. Any Silbar Security franchise profit number quoted elsewhere is an estimate.
Does Silbar Security disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
Yes — Silbar Security 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 Silbar Security?
No — Silbar Security's most recently filed FDD (2026) discloses no litigation in Item 3. Franchisors must disclose material litigation involving themselves, their predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 is a genuine signal rather than an omission.
