Across the 263 home services franchise systems in our database, median initial investment runs $129K–$227K, with a typical upfront franchise fee near $50K. 85 can be started for under $100K. Each FDD's Item 7 provides the exact investment range for that brand.
77% of the home services franchises in our Kentucky dataset disclose Item 19 financial performance representations. Among the 100 that report unit revenue, the median is $553K per location per year. The remainder rely on Item 1 (business background) and Item 7 (initial investment) without making earnings claims. Brands disclosing Item 19 give you the strongest basis for projecting unit-level revenue.
Right-to-work state since 2017 with favorable labor environment. Louisville logistics hub (UPS Worldport) supports B2B and last-mile franchises.
Kentucky does not require state-level franchise registration, so no separate state-level verification is needed. The federal FTC Rule still requires the franchisor to provide the FDD at least 14 days before you sign or pay anything.
