Propelled Brands’ brands here are business services, dog daycare and salon 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 $50K across these brands, with a typical $50K. Where the royalty is a single share of sales, it runs from 5.5% to 7%, typically 6.3%. At one brand the royalty isn't one rate on all sales: it is tiered, ranged, charged on part of revenue or comes with a minimum.
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.
Sales per location and who runs it
Of these brands, 3 publish yearly sales per location, from $357K at NerdsToGo to $993K at Camp Bow Wow. None requires the owner to run it day to day; a trained manager can.

| Camp Bow Wow | $993K a year | 1% of sales | Owner needn't take part |
| NerdsToGo | $357K a year | Other terms | A trained manager can run it |
