How much does a Sugaring NYC franchise make?

Sugaring NYC 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 $436,456 in average unit revenue — read it alongside what Item 19 says about which units it covers (often only mature or top-performing locations).

Sugaring NYC 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 Sugaring NYC's 5% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Sugaring NYC franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Sugaring NYC franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $436,456 of revenue, a 5% royalty alone is about $21,823 a year before any other cost.

Sugaring NYC lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Sugaring NYC's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024) 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 Sugaring NYC 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.

Sugaring NYC closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Sugaring NYC 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 Sugaring NYC's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a beauty & personal care 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. Sugaring NYC's latest tables show a growing franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 4.2%, against a beauty & personal care median of 1.8% — worse than the category. Net franchised outlets moved +52 to 76 in the latest reported year.

Who owns Sugaring NYC?

Sugaring NYC's franchise is offered by Nartov Ventures LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at CA DFPI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.

Sugaring NYC discloses unit earnings in Item 19, but that figure is revenue — sales — not profit.
