How much does a Vital Restoration franchise make?

Vital Restoration 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 average revenue Vital Restoration reports, what that figure does and doesn't include, and where it ranks against cleaning & restoration peers are in the full report. See every cleaning & restoration brand that discloses earnings in the Cleaning & restoration franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.

Vital Restoration 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 Vital Restoration's 6% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Vital Restoration franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Vital Restoration franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. The full report sets Vital Restoration's disclosed revenue against its total ongoing fee load, so you can see what that revenue has to cover before anything reaches you.

Vital Restoration lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Vital Restoration'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.

Vital Restoration closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Vital Restoration 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 Vital Restoration's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a cleaning & restoration 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. Vital Restoration's latest tables show a stable franchised network. The actual closure and termination counts, and how Vital Restoration's churn ranks against cleaning & restoration peers, are in the full report.

Who owns Vital Restoration?

Vital Restoration franchise — frequently asked

Who owns Vital Restoration — who is the franchisor?

Vital Restoration's most recently filed FDD (2024) names Vital Restoration Franchising, Inc. 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 Vital Restoration franchise cost?

Vital Restoration's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $143,750 – $310,567 and a 6% royalty. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. The full report breaks down every fee line and benchmarks it against cleaning & restoration peers.

How much profit does a Vital Restoration franchise make?

Vital Restoration discloses unit earnings in Item 19, but that figure is revenue — sales — not profit. Royalties (6% of gross for Vital Restoration), the ad fund, rent, payroll and supplies all come out of it, and no FDD discloses what an owner nets. Any Vital Restoration franchise profit number quoted elsewhere is an estimate. The full report shows the disclosed revenue against the full ongoing fee load it has to cover.

Does Vital Restoration disclose financial performance (Item 19)?

Yes — Vital Restoration reports unit-level earnings in Item 19. The full report shows the actual revenue figures and how they rank against cleaning & restoration peers.

Are there lawsuits against Vital Restoration?

No — Vital Restoration's most recently filed FDD (2024) 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 Vital Restoration a good franchise to buy?

Nobody can answer that from Vital Restoration's numbers alone — it comes down to how its investment, earnings, litigation and franchisee churn stack up against cleaning & restoration peers, which is what the full report is for. Our read on this filing is low risk, stated free above. For $99 you get the figures driving that read, the actual Item 19 earnings (disclosed in this FDD), where every figure ranks against peers, and the specific questions to ask the franchisor before you sign.
