Results vary. See Item 19 of the current FDD for full context. This week's Franchise of the Week is the Voda Cleaning and Restoration franchise: a two-in-one service model combining specialty cleaning with water and mold restoration, where a large share of the work is paid by an insurance carrier rather than by the homeowner. We compare the 2025 and 2026 FDD side by side, what it costs to open, the franchise fee, the royalty and brand fund, and what the FDD reports the top-performing owners are doing in annual sales. We also get into why a recession-resistant service model scales differently from retail franchising, and what 200 territories sold in three years tells you about a young franchise system. ------------------ Considering Investing In A Franchise? 🔍 Request a Territory Check | Check territory availability here: http://www.franchiseempire.com/checkterritory?utm_source=fesep232026 🔄 Franchise Resales | Find existing businesses for sale: https://www.franchiseempire.com/resales?utm_source=fesep232026 ------------------ Ready to Build Your Empire? 🚨 Join The #1 Community for Owning a Money-Making Franchise: https://www.skool.com/franchiseempirebuilders/about 🚀 Franchise Buyers Academy - Speed up your journey with our step-by-step mini-course: https://www.franchiseempire.com/FBA?utm_source=fesep232026 💰 Get Business Grants From the Government: https://www.franchiseempire.com/bizgrants?utm_source=fesep232026 ------------------ Free Resources to Get You Started!
