What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Cinch I.T.'s 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were a total of 9 Cinch I.T. outlets operating at the end of 2021. This number reflects a net increase of 3 outlets during that year.
Of these 9 outlets, 8 were franchised and 1 was company-owned. The franchised outlets increased from 5 at the start of 2021 to 8 by the end of the year, showing a net change of +3. The single company-owned outlet remained constant throughout the year.
It's important to note that the company-owned outlet is operated by an affiliate in Worcester, Massachusetts, as detailed in Item 1 of the FDD. This distinction clarifies that Cinch I.T. itself does not directly operate any company-owned outlets, which is a key factor for prospective franchisees to consider when evaluating the franchise model.
