Empower Brands’ brands here include home service, lawn care and commercial cleaning franchises. Each is franchised on its own terms, under its own agreement, so the cost to open, the fees and the record of each brand differ, even where the parent company is the same.

Fees and royalties across the brands
Franchise fees run from $50K to $250K across these brands, with a typical $50K. Where the royalty is a single share of sales, it runs from 5% to 8%, typically 6%. At 7 brands the royalty isn't one rate on all sales: it is tiered, ranged, charged on part of revenue or comes with a minimum. On top of that, the marketing fund ranges from 0.5% to 1.5% of sales.
A shared parent can mean shared suppliers, systems and support staff, but it rarely means shared terms: compare the agreements brand by brand, and ask whether owning one brand gets you anything when you buy another.
