United Defense Tactical franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: United Defense Tactical 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 United Defense Tactical — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing; the fees, litigation and outlet churn United Defense Tactical's FDD does contain are on this page. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Other franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
United Defense Tactical lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
United Defense Tactical's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024) 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.
United Defense Tactical closures & failure rate
Before you sign, United Defense Tactical 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 United Defense Tactical'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. United Defense Tactical reports no franchised units open yet — there is no operating track record to churn.
Who owns United Defense Tactical?
United Defense Tactical's franchise is offered by Dynamic Combatives 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.

How much profit does a United Defense Tactical franchise make?
United Defense Tactical makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for United Defense Tactical at all — and profit would never be disclosed even where earnings are, because it depends on your rent, labor and how you operate.
