What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Buildingstars's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 19 provides financial performance representations based on the average Monthly Contract Revenue earned by franchisees. The data is categorized by franchisee level (Technician, On-Site Manager, and Corporate) and the number of months the franchisees have been in operation. This information is derived from franchisees operating in specific regional offices, excluding the San Antonio, TX, office, which began operations in 2024 and is not included in the Item 19 data.
For Technician franchisees, the 2024 Average Monthly Contract Revenue is reported for those in business for 2-6 months, 7-12 months, and more than 12 months, broken down into revenue ranges such as "Less than $1,000", "Between $1,001 and $2,000", and so on, up to "Over $10,001". The number and percentage of franchisees falling into each revenue range are also provided. For example, for Technicians in business for more than 12 months, 29.9% earned less than $1,000, while 2.7% earned over $10,001. Monthly Contract Revenue for Technicians who have been in business for less than 2 months are not included.
Similar data is presented for On-Site Manager and Corporate franchisees, although the revenue ranges and percentages differ. For instance, the data for Corporate franchisees shows revenue ranges from "Less than $5,000" to "Over $54,001". Most On-Site Manager and Corporate Franchisees started off in the Technician Program and have been franchise owners for more than 12 months. This metric allows prospective franchisees to understand the potential revenue based on the performance of existing franchisees in different categories and experience levels.
It is important to note that the FDD explicitly states that there is no assurance that a new franchisee will achieve the same results. The document advises prospective franchisees to develop their own business plans and consult with financial advisors to assess the potential financial performance of a Buildingstars franchise in their specific circumstances.
