Business services franchise rankings
Business services franchises — frequently asked
What is the best business services franchise?
"Best" is a claim the FDD numbers have to back: we rank business services brands that disclose Item 19 earnings AND beat the category's median closure rate.

The median total initial investment across the 105 business services franchises we track is $103,290 (FDD Item 7); individual brands range widely — the table on this page shows each one. The lowest-cost brands are ranked in Cheapest Business services franchises to open.
Which business services franchises disclose earnings?
53 of 105 business services franchises (50%) make an Item 19 financial performance representation in their most recent FDD — franchisor-disclosed unit earnings, not estimates. See Business services franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
What is the failure rate of business services franchises?
Across the 68 business services brands with parsed outlet tables, the median franchised-outlet closure rate is 3.3% (FDD Item 20 — closures, terminations and non-renewals, the closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate). 27 of the 90 with net-change data shrank in the latest reported year.
Which business services franchise fits your budget?
105 business services franchises is a long list. Tell us your budget and state and we'll send you the 5–10 that fit, ranked by earnings disclosure, growth and closure rate from their own FDDs.
One sponsored slot per category, and it's data-gated: a brand must disclose Item 19 earnings and beat the category's median closure rate to hold it. Sponsorship is always labeled and never changes a ranking, a risk read, or a report — the data on this site is not for sale. Franchisor inquiries: ryan@franchisefactsreport.com.
