Supporting Strategies franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Supporting Strategies 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 Supporting Strategies — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (50% of business services franchisors in our corpus do disclose); the fees, litigation and outlet churn Supporting Strategies's FDD does contain are on this page.

Supporting Strategies lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Supporting Strategies's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025) 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.
Supporting Strategies closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Supporting Strategies 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 Supporting Strategies's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a business 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. Supporting Strategies's latest tables show a shrinking franchised network — more units left than opened. Net franchised outlets moved -14 to 84 in the latest reported year.
Who owns Supporting Strategies?
Supporting Strategies's franchise is offered by Supporting Strategies Partners LLC — 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 CA DFPI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.

Supporting Strategies franchise — frequently asked
Who owns Supporting Strategies — who is the franchisor?
Supporting Strategies's most recently filed FDD (2025) names Supporting Strategies Partners 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 Supporting Strategies franchise cost?
Supporting Strategies's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $74,570 – $98,190, with an initial franchise fee of $60,000 and a 10% royalty. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. Against business services peers it sits in the upper quartile (median $103,290).
How much profit does a Supporting Strategies franchise make?
Supporting Strategies makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for Supporting Strategies 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 Supporting Strategies disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
No — Supporting Strategies's most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation. Its absence is worth weighing: 50% of business services franchisors in our corpus do disclose.
Are there lawsuits against Supporting Strategies?
No — Supporting Strategies's most recently filed FDD (2025) 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.
