TEGG franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: TEGG 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 TEGG — 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 TEGG's FDD does contain are on this page.

TEGG lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
TEGG'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.
TEGG closures & failure rate
Before you sign, TEGG 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 TEGG'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. TEGG's latest tables show a shrinking franchised network — more units left than opened. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 0%, against a business services median of 3.3% — at or better than the category. Net franchised outlets moved -1 to 51 in the latest reported year.
Who owns TEGG?
TEGG's franchise is offered by ABM Franchising Group, 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. The same franchisor files separate FDDs for other brands, which is worth knowing — sibling brands share a franchise-support organization but disclose their own numbers:

TEGG franchise — frequently asked
Who owns TEGG — who is the franchisor?
TEGG's most recently filed FDD (2026) names ABM Franchising Group, LLC as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself. The same franchisor also files FDDs for Linc Service. A registry filing names the franchisor, not necessarily its ultimate parent company.
How much does a TEGG franchise cost?
TEGG's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $96,280 – $229,384, with an initial franchise fee of $75,000 and a 2.5% 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 lower quartile (median $103,290).
How much profit does a TEGG franchise make?
TEGG makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for TEGG 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 TEGG disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
No — TEGG'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 TEGG?
No — TEGG'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.
Is TEGG a good franchise to buy?
Nobody can answer that from TEGG's numbers alone — it comes down to how its investment, earnings, litigation and franchisee churn stack up against business services peers and against your own budget.
