For a Buildingstars franchise with a monthly contract revenue of $2,000, what is the minimum down payment required?

According to Buildingstars's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the minimum down payment for an On-Site Manager Program franchise with a $2,000 monthly contract revenue is $3,995. This is based on the financed option for the initial franchise fee. The total initial franchise fee, including finance fees, is $7,995.

The remaining $4,000 after the down payment is financed over 20 months, with monthly payments of $200. This financing arrangement allows franchisees to start their Buildingstars business with a lower upfront investment, spreading the cost over a longer period.

It's important to note that this down payment applies specifically to the On-Site Manager Program and when the initial franchise fee is financed. The FDD outlines different fees and payment structures for the Technician and Corporate Programs. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider their financial situation and the terms of the financing before making a decision.

The initial franchise fee covers the costs associated with setting up the franchise, including training and support. The financed amount includes finance fees, which means the total cost is higher compared to paying the initial franchise fee in cash. Franchisees should evaluate the long-term financial implications of financing versus paying the lump sum.

Buildingstars offers different franchise programs with varying initial investment requirements. The On-Site Manager Program with a $2,000 monthly contract revenue represents one specific scenario, and the down payment and financing terms can change based on the program and revenue level.
