How much does an Enviro-Master Services franchise cost?
The 2026 Enviro-Master Franchise Disclosure Document estimates $112,450 to $286,850 for one territory and $271,720 to $599,670 for two to five Franchised Businesses under a Multi-Territory Addendum. Those are total initial investment ranges, not merely the Initial Franchise Fee and not a stated Liquid Capital requirement.
Data basis: Enviro-Master International Franchise, LLC; U.S. Franchise Disclosure Document issued April 30, 2026 and amended July 8, 2026; single-territory Franchised Business and two-to-five-territory MTA formats; FDD Items 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11 and 17; checked July 20, 2026. The principal investment figures are in Item 7, printed pages 16–20. No matching 2026 FDD was publicly posted on an official franchise-controlled domain when checked, so FDD references below are unlinked.
A buyer choosing one territory falls within the $112,450–$286,850 Item 7 range. A buyer signing an MTA for two to five Franchised Businesses falls within $271,720–$599,670. The upper and lower bounds cannot be blended because the formats carry different Initial Franchise Fees, premises requirements and Additional Funds assumptions.

The franchisor’s official franchise opportunity page and official franchise FAQ still displayed older investment ranges when checked on July 20, 2026. This article uses the later 2026 FDD figures. The website remains useful for current public franchise information, but it should not replace the latest disclosure document.
The MTA range begins near the top of the single-territory range and extends beyond it because it covers two to five Franchised Businesses.
Interpretation: Additional Funds and the MTA Initial Franchise Fee create much of the format difference; the bars show official low/high bounds, not typical spending. Source: 2026 FDD, Item 7, printed pp. 16–20.
The widest single-territory swings are Additional Funds ($13,000–$128,000) and Power Washer & Vehicle ($2,300–$50,800). A buyer’s cash plan therefore depends heavily on staffing and operating runway, plus whether the required vehicle and power washer are leased or purchased.
What is included in the single-territory investment?
The $112,450–$286,850 single-territory estimate includes the Initial Franchise Fee, required equipment and inventory, a compliant vehicle and power washer, initial marketing and Inside Sales Activity, premises costs, insurance, training travel, professional fees and Additional Funds. Item 7 does not describe a home-based format: the franchisee must obtain storage space and may not operate the Franchised Business from home.
Signing, equipment and launch purchases
| Item 7 category | 2026 amount | Payment timing | FDD page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Initial Franchise Fee | $60,000 | At signing | 16 |
| Equipment | $9,100–$10,000 | Before opening | 16 |
| Power Washer & Vehicle | $2,300–$50,800 | Before opening, as incurred | 16 |
| Inside Sales Activity | $4,920 | Weekly during the first 12 weeks included in Item 7 | 16, 19 |
| Local Digital Marketing | $350 | First month included in Item 7 | 16, 19 |
| Opening Inventory | $15,800–$16,500 | Before opening | 16, 19 |
| Technology Costs | $250 | Monthly; laptop expected at training | 17, 19 |
Premises, professional costs and working capital
| Item 7 category | 2026 amount | What the estimate covers | FDD page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deposits and Prepaid Expenses | $500–$1,000 | Pre-opening deposits; some may later be refundable | 16, 19 |
| Permits and Licenses | $200–$500 | Local, county and state requirements | 16, 19 |
| Insurance | $1,000–$3,000 | Required policies and coverage limits | 16, 19 |
| Training Travel and Living Expenses | $4,000–$7,000 | Living expenses; extra attendees and transportation require separate review | 17, 19 |
| Rent | $500–$2,000 | Assumes one month’s rent plus one month’s deposit | 17, 20 |
| Professional Fees | $500–$2,500 | Legal, accounting or other advisors as required | 18 |
| Additional Funds — 3 months | $13,000–$128,000 | Initial operational funds; owner salary excluded | 18, 20 |
| Total Initial Investment | $112,450–$286,850 | Official Item 7 total | 18 |
For a single territory, Item 7 assumes storage of about 400 square feet, with power and water and enough room for a power-washing trailer. The franchisor does not locate the site or negotiate the lease. Item 11 says opening typically takes one to three months and sets a 90-day Opening Deadline after the Franchise Agreement is signed.
The Training Travel and Living Expenses estimate does not include the $2,500 Additional Training Fee for each person beyond the two included attendees, and the FDD says transportation varies by distance and mode. Obtain a route-specific travel quote rather than assuming the Item 7 range resolves every training cost.
How does an MTA change the amount due?
A two-to-five-business MTA raises the 2026 total initial investment to $271,720–$599,670. The development structure changes the Initial Franchise Fee, premises requirement, Technology Costs and Additional Funds. It does not simply multiply the single-territory range.
| Businesses under MTA | Initial Franchise Fee | Fee construction | Payment timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | $100,000 | $60,000 first + $40,000 second | At signing of the Franchise Agreements and MTA |
| 3 | $130,000 | Add $30,000 third territory | At signing |
| 4 | $160,000 | Add $30,000 fourth territory | At signing |
| 5 | $190,000 | Add $30,000 fifth territory | At signing |
The MTA Item 7 table includes $127,000–$305,000 in Additional Funds, compared with $13,000–$128,000 for one territory. It also assumes approximately 2,500 combined square feet of office and warehouse space, rather than the smaller single-territory storage setup. MTA Rent is estimated at $2,400–$4,000, and Technology Costs are $250–$500.
The 2026 FDD also permits a discretionary discount for an approved prospect who completes due diligence before Discovery Day and signs and pays there. No discount amount is disclosed, so it should not reduce the capital plan unless the franchisor states the credit in writing.
When is the money paid?
The largest fixed payment is due at signing, while equipment, inventory, premises and training expenses accumulate before opening. Weekly and monthly system fees begin at the points stated in Items 5, 6 and 7.
Item 7 includes only the first 12 weeks of the mandatory 26-week Inside Sales Activity. The full disclosed obligation is $10,660, so the cash schedule extends beyond the amount embedded in the official Item 7 table.
Which fees continue after opening?
The main recurring charges are percentage-based fees on Gross Revenues, plus fixed Technology, Inside Sales and Local Digital Marketing charges. The 2026 FDD defines Gross Revenues broadly as revenue and income earned, received or accrued from the Franchised Business, subject to stated exclusions and permitted deductions.
| Ongoing fee | Amount or basis | Timing | 2026 FDD reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Royalty Fee | 6% of Gross Revenues or Minimum Royalty, whichever is greater | Weekly after opening; four-week minimum true-up | Item 6, pp. 8, 14–15 |
| Admin/Service Fee | Currently 5% of Gross Revenues or $125, whichever is greater | Weekly after opening | Item 6, p. 8 |
| National Advertising Fee | 2% of Gross Revenues | Weekly after opening | Item 6, p. 8 |
| Local Marketing Expenditure | 2% of Gross Revenues | Weekly | Item 6, p. 8 |
| National/Regional Accounts Fee | 4% of Gross Revenues from covered accounts | Weekly when applicable | Item 6, pp. 8–9, 15 |
| Technology Fee | $62.50 per week, per user | Weekly after opening | Item 6, p. 9 |
| Inside Sales Activity | $410 per week | First 26 weeks after opening | Item 6, p. 12 |
| Local Digital Marketing Campaign | $350 per month | Monthly | Item 6, pp. 12–13 |
The official franchise support page describes the Inside Sales Department, National Accounts, accounts-receivable work, IT software support and purchasing functions associated with several of these charges. That operational description does not change the fee amounts or payment bases in the 2026 FDD.
Each bar is the sum of 13 four-week minimums for one Franchised Business. The weekly Royalty Fee remains 6% of Gross Revenues when that amount is greater.
Interpretation: The Minimum Royalty is a floor tested at the end of each four-week period, not a substitute flat annual royalty and not a forecast of revenue. Source: 2026 FDD, Item 6, printed pp. 14–15.
Which costs arise only when an event occurs?
Item 6 also creates material charges for renewal, transfer, resale, noncompliance, extra support and default. These amounts are outside the normal weekly operating-fee stack unless the listed event occurs.
Item 17 states that the initial Franchise Agreement term is five years. Renewal is for ten years if the conditions are met, including 180 to 240 days’ notice, compliance, required updates and training, timely payment, the Renewal Fee and execution of the then-current agreement. The FTC’s FDD review guidance identifies Items 5–7 and Item 17 as key places to test startup, continuing and what-if costs.
Does Enviro-Master disclose a Liquid Capital or Net Worth minimum?
No current Liquid Capital, Net Worth or Non-Borrowed Funds threshold was disclosed in the 2026 FDD or on the official U.S. franchise pages reviewed. A directory number should not be substituted for a franchisor qualification that is absent from the current official sources.
- Total Initial Investment
- The Item 7 estimate to establish and begin operating the applicable format: $112,450–$286,850 single territory or $271,720–$599,670 MTA.
- Initial Franchise Fee
- The signing payment for franchise rights: $60,000 for one territory or $100,000–$190,000 under the MTA fee ladder.
- Amount paid to the franchisor
- The cover states that Item 7 includes $90,170–$91,770 paid to the franchisor for one territory and $133,770–$225,370 for the MTA format.
- Liquid Capital and Net Worth
- Different qualification concepts. Liquid Capital concerns readily available funds; Net Worth is assets minus liabilities. Neither minimum is stated in the verified 2026 sources.
Does the franchisor finance the startup cost?
The 2026 FDD says Enviro-Master generally does not offer direct or indirect financing and does not guarantee a note, lease or obligation. At its sole discretion, however, the franchisor may finance up to $10,000 of certain large equipment purchases that are not part of the Initial Equipment Package, at 0% annual interest.
The Promissory Note is repaid in 13 weekly installments, can be prepaid without penalty, and may require a Personal Guarantee when the borrower is a business entity. The franchisor takes a security interest in the financed equipment and accounts receivable until repayment. Item 10 also provides for acceleration and collection costs after specified defaults. The official FAQ says Enviro-Master works with third-party financial institutions, but lender approval and terms are not guaranteed.
Item 7 states that the franchisor does not finance the listed Item 7 items, while Item 10 permits a narrow discretionary equipment note for purchases outside the Initial Equipment Package. Treat the $10,000 arrangement as conditional, not as available capital in the base startup plan.
Which cost uncertainties require written confirmation?
Four disclosures materially affect how the official range should be interpreted. They should be resolved against the latest FDD, Franchise Agreement, MTA and written quotes before payment.
Required sourcing also affects later spending. Item 8 states that the franchisor or Approved Suppliers provide most products, inventory, equipment and Business Services, and an approved alternative supplier purchase may carry a 12% charge or the comparable franchisor markup, whichever is greater. Accounting and bookkeeping services are also required from a designated supplier.
A separate format-related obligation may apply to particular available territories. The official available-territory page says many territories include an existing book of business that must be purchased, typically as an add-on equal to 60% of annualized revenue. That is not part of the standard Item 7 range for a new territory and must be priced for the specific offering.
What capital figure should a buyer carry forward?
Carry forward the 2026 FDD range that matches the development contract: $112,450–$286,850 for one territory or $271,720–$599,670 for two to five Franchised Businesses under an MTA. Keep that figure separate from the Initial Franchise Fee, the amount paid directly to Enviro-Master International Franchise, LLC, and any buyer-specific financing or liquidity test.
The most important unresolved variables are the operating runway behind Additional Funds, lease-versus-purchase choices for the vehicle and power washer, MTA premises and staffing needs, required-supplier pricing, and any existing book-of-business purchase. After opening, the buyer must also budget for the 6% Royalty Fee or Minimum Royalty, the 5% Admin/Service Fee or $125 weekly floor, advertising and marketing obligations, Technology Fee, and event-triggered charges.
