What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Expense Reduction Analysts' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the median project total invoice for franchisees in 2023 was $14,665. This figure represents the midpoint of all project invoices, meaning half of the projects generated more revenue and half generated less.
For a prospective Expense Reduction Analysts franchisee, this median figure provides a benchmark for understanding potential project revenue. It's important to note that this is a median, not an average, so it's less susceptible to being skewed by a few very high-value projects. The FDD also indicates that the average cumulative invoice total per project in 2023 was $34,773, substantially higher than the median, suggesting a range of project sizes and revenues.
It is important to consider that the actual project total invoice can vary significantly, as the high project total invoice was $638,278 and the low was $130 in 2023. This demonstrates the potential for high earnings, but also the risk of lower revenues depending on the types of projects secured. Prospective franchisees should investigate what factors contribute to these variations and how they can influence their own project values.
The Expense Reduction Analysts FDD also states, "Some outlets have earned this amount. Your individual results may differ. There is no assurance that you will earn as much." This is a standard disclaimer, but it reinforces the need for careful due diligence and realistic expectations. A prospective franchisee should consider their own business acumen, marketing efforts, and the local market conditions when evaluating the potential for achieving similar results.
