What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Benjamin Franklin Plumbing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial investment for computer, technology systems, and software ranges from $0 to $4,120. This investment is paid to vendors as the expenses are incurred.
The low estimate of $0 assumes that the franchisee already possesses all the necessary equipment and is already utilizing the ServiceTitan Platform. The higher estimate of $4,120 accounts for purchasing all required computer equipment and related devices to meet Benjamin Franklin Plumbing's technology standards, including the installation of the ServiceTitan Platform.
Prospective franchisees should carefully assess their existing technology infrastructure and software capabilities to determine whether they fall within the low or high end of this estimated range. Reviewing Item 8 and Item 11 of the FDD, as suggested in Item 7, will provide further details on the specific technology and software requirements for operating a Benjamin Franklin Plumbing franchise.
