💡 Opportunity #1
THE TRADE WORK NOBODY WANTS TO DO, AND THAT'S THE POINT
Every plumber, electrician, and contractor leaves holes in walls. None of them want to come back to patch them. That's the entire business. This home repair franchise has carved out an in-demand niche doing the work that skilled tradespeople don't have time for: drywall repair, texture matching, and paint matching.
📊 Performance snapshot:
✔ Average gross revenue: $609,300 (top tertile), $240,057 (mid tertile)*
✔ Average gross profit: 59% (top tertile), 55% (mid tertile)*
✔ 4.8 Google rating system-wide
💡 Why it stands out:
✅ Fills a genuine gap in the trades - contractors refer this work rather than compete with it
✅ No lease, no buildout - home-based, van-based operation with one of the cleaner cost structures in home services
✅ Royalty slides down - starts at 9% and scales down to 5% as revenue grows
✅ 24/7 answering center included - handles inbound calls and live-transfers to the owner
✅ SBA approved - financing path exists for qualified buyers
✅ $7,000 discount for veterans and first responders
💰 Investment range: $124,575 - $159,575*

💡 Opportunity #2
PURPOSE-DRIVEN EDUCATION WITH RECURRING REVENUE
This K-12 tutoring and enrichment franchise has been operating since 1995 and franchising since 2011. It runs on a model built around small group classes, private tutoring, and test prep: three revenue streams that stack on each other and create predictable, recurring income.
📊 Performance snapshot:
✔ Median gross sales: $224,996*
✔ Highest reported: $527,012*
✔ 36 franchise units open nationwide
💡 Why it stands out:
✅ Three revenue streams in one location - enrichment, private tutoring, and test prep run simultaneously
✅ Recurring revenue model - small group classes create week-over-week consistency
✅ Extremely low COGS - no physical product, no inventory, strong margin potential
✅ Abundant labor supply - the majority of tutors are college students, making hiring consistent and cost-effective
✅ Large protected territories - 15,000 to 18,000 students minimum, larger than most competitors
💰 Investment range: $84,875 - $146,000*
*As shown in Item 7 and 19 of the 2026 FDD
