Figures as disclosed in each brand's most recent registered FDD. “—” means the FDD does not disclose it or the table did not parse cleanly — never an estimate. Tap any brand for the full breakdown. New to the term? What is Item 19? — the earnings disclosure, in plain English.
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. Annex Brands Commercial Center currently tops that list with a 0% franchised-outlet closure rate; 15 business services brands qualify. See Best Business services franchises by the FDD numbers.
How much does a business services franchise cost?
The median total initial investment across the 124 business services franchises we track is $103,547 (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?
64 of 124 business services franchises (52%) 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 81 business services brands with parsed outlet tables, the median franchised-outlet closure rate is 2.9% (FDD Item 20 — closures, terminations and non-renewals, the closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate). 33 of the 109 with net-change data shrank in the latest reported year.
The full report on any business services brand: risk level, actual Item 19 earnings (where disclosed), every figure ranked against business services peers, litigation and churn detail.
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.
