How does TeamLogic IT operate after opening?
Under the 2026 U.S. FDD, a standard TeamLogic IT Business is owner-supervised and office-based. The TeamLogic IT franchisee wins and manages small-business accounts; qualified technicians deliver onsite and remote support; and the TeamLogic IT System supplies the service framework, technology stack, Network Operations Center, Help Desk and operating controls.
What does the unit sell, and who buys it?
The TeamLogic IT Business sells outsourced technology support. Item 1 requires 15 Core Services covering remote monitoring and management, assessment, repair, installation, business continuity, cybersecurity, cloud, artificial intelligence, mobility, communications, Help Desk support, IT consulting and business-application support. Item 16 permits approved Non-Core Services only when qualified on-staff technicians or an authorized brokered arrangement can perform them.
Recurring managed services
TeamLogic IT Managed Services combines RMM agents, Network Operations Center support, Help Desk or Service Desk response, business continuity and performance reporting. The local TeamLogic IT Business monitors infrastructure and responds to detected failures.
Projects, repairs and products
The unit may bill for assessments, repairs, installations, consulting projects, labor and approved hardware or software resale. Item 19 describes hourly work, Managed Services, professional projects, reseller activity, commissions and product sales. These categories explain transaction mechanics, not owner earnings.
The contractual target is small and medium-sized businesses. The official customer profile describes prospects with five to 50 employees and no internal IT department, including professional practices, healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, construction, education, nonprofits, retail and hospitality. The TeamLogic IT Managed Services overview confirms onsite, cloud and remote-support channels.
How does work move from a lead to ongoing service?
The FDD does not prescribe one account script. The Franchise Agreement, Brand Standards and Operations Manual table of contents, and required Professional Services Automation platform establish this operating path; every stage depends on accurate records and sufficient qualified-technician capacity.

Who performs each operating function?
TeamLogic IT separates commercial leadership from technical execution, not the owner from daily responsibility. Item 15 requires the TeamLogic IT franchisee to directly supervise and participate in day-to-day operations. A manager may lack equity, but must sign a confidentiality agreement and cannot concurrently work for a competing business.
Franchisee or owner
- Acquires clients and maintains relationships.
- Directly supervises the TeamLogic IT Business.
- Sets prices within approved contract rules.
- Hires technicians and controls payroll and purchasing.
- Ensures invoicing, reporting, marketing and compliance.
Local team
- At least one onsite qualified technician must be maintained.
- The technician must gain RMM certification within 90 days.
- Technicians perform assessments, installations, repairs and projects.
- A manager does not remove the owner-participation requirement.
System and third parties
- TeamLogic, LLC supplies standards, support resources and the local website.
- The Network Operations Center and Help Desk extend technical capacity.
- Summit Marketing Communications, LLC supports network media.
- Third-party PSA, accounting and security vendors supply required tools.
The model is not contractually absentee. The official franchise FAQ answers “No” and assigns the owner client development, relationships, technician management, purchasing and operations. The technician-hiring page places technical delivery with employees while the owner leads sales and client contact.
Which systems, suppliers and assets are mandatory?
The operating platform mixes TeamLogic, LLC controls and third-party products. Hardware can generally come from any source, but TeamLogic, LLC sets specifications and may require upgrades. Item 11 specifies three laptops, three monitors, technician smartphones and a field-accessible phone system, with another laptop for each added technician.
Restricted or required stack
Core RMM agents in TeamLogic IT Managed Services must come from TeamLogic, LLC unless it approves a designated supplier. MFA is required. The Professional Services Automation platform—identified as Autotask—is obtained through TeamLogic, LLC and records sales appointments, customer service and repair history.
Accounting, security and data
QuickBooks Online with the approved chart of accounts is required with specified productivity, email, antivirus, CRM and approved LLM tools. The TeamLogic IT franchisee must implement the Security Operations Guide. TeamLogic, LLC may request electronic access to client identity, appointments, invoicing and most operational records.
Supplier flexibility
Other hardware, software and computer supplies may come from any compliant supplier. A TeamLogic IT franchisee may propose a source; Item 8 requires TeamLogic, LLC to evaluate conformity, security, service, price and quality and respond within 90 days.
Physical operating base
A leased office inside the protected Territory is required; the format is not disclosed as home-based. A vehicle is optional, but any vehicle used by the TeamLogic IT Business requires approved graphics and safe, clean maintenance. Site, signage and relocation require approval.
Evidence: 2026 FDD Items 8 and 11, printed pages 13–15 and 21–23; Franchise Agreement Sections 6.3, 6.6, 6.9, 6.10, 6.12 and 6.21.
How do Territory and channel rules work?
The TeamLogic IT franchisee receives a protected Territory, not an exclusive territory. TeamLogic, LLC will not establish another branded franchise or company-owned outlet there during the term, but clients are not reserved. Other offices may serve accounts inside it, while the local office may market outside it through outreach, internet or telemarketing.
Each Franchise Agreement covers one TeamLogic IT Business at one approved office. The protected Territory references up to 1,500 to 2,000 expected client businesses. Under the National Accounts program, a multi-location client may use any TeamLogic IT office. An office may opt out; failure to follow National Account pricing can move the work elsewhere.
Protection applies to branded outlets, not all clients or channels. Item 12 permits TeamLogic, LLC and affiliates to market other offerings inside the protected Territory. After 12 months, continued rights are tied to a disclosed sales-performance test, making accurate weekly records an operating dependency.
What does the franchisor control, and what can the franchisee decide?
TeamLogic, LLC controls the branded offer, required technology, reporting architecture, brand presentation and operating standards. The TeamLogic IT franchisee retains local employer, pricing, relationship and execution decisions within those boundaries. The Brand Standards and Operations Manual may change during the term, with implementation required after electronic notice.
| Operating domain | TeamLogic, LLC control | Franchisee decision |
|---|---|---|
| Offering | Designates Core Services, approved products, configurations and authorized Non-Core Services. | Selects which approved opportunities to pursue and whether capacity supports optional Non-Core Services. |
| Pricing and contracts | Requires approved Managed Services contract forms and sets National Account participation rules. | Sets local Managed Services pricing unless an account-specific pricing commitment applies. |
| People | Requires owner participation and at least one qualified RMM-certified onsite technician. | Recruits, hires, compensates, schedules and manages local employees or an eligible manager. |
| Technology and records | Specifies PSA, RMM, accounting, security, reporting, data access and upgrade requirements. | Chooses compliant hardware sources and runs local ticketing, invoicing, collections and account management. |
| Marketing and web | Controls the brand website, domains, approved campaigns, advertising review and Advertising Fund. | Executes local networking and approved marketing; proposes independent materials for review. |
| Territory and accounts | Approves the Territory, site and branded outlet placement. | May market beyond the Territory and decide whether to participate in specific National Accounts. |

What does Item 20 show about the operating footprint?
Item 20 Table 3 reports 281 U.S. franchised outlets at year-end 2023, 310 in 2024 and 343 in 2025. One Canadian outlet brought the 2025 systemwide total to 344 before the ownership reclassification in the amended FDD.
U.S. franchised outlets at year-end
Item 20 Table 3, 2023–2025
The U.S. franchised count increased by 62 outlets across the two year-end intervals.
Source: TeamLogic, LLC 2026 FDD, Item 20 Table 3, printed pages 33–37. Values are exact year-end counts; 281 + 29 = 310 and 310 + 33 = 343.
After the chart period, TeamLogic, LLC acquired 28 franchised Businesses through IT Assist Holdings, LLC, producing 316 franchised and 28 company-owned Businesses while retaining 344 systemwide. A May 4, 2026 official company-owned expansion release refers to 30 locations. The definitions do not reconcile, so a buyer should obtain a current outlet schedule.
What should a buyer verify about the live operating model?
The 2026 FDD establishes the contract, while the Brand Standards and Operations Manual, vendor list and local exhibits can change inputs. Verification should use versions governing the proposed protected Territory and Franchise Agreement date.
- Obtain the current PSA, RMM, MFA, QuickBooks Online, CRM, security, productivity and approved LLM schedule, including upgrade duties and TeamLogic, LLC data-access rights.
- Reconcile the protected Territory map, source date for the 1,500–2,000 business count, nearby TeamLogic IT service patterns and National Account commitments.
- Confirm the current franchised and company-owned outlet totals, including the difference between the amended FDD’s 28 company-owned Businesses and the official release’s 30 locations.
- Review the current Security Operations Guide and Brand Standards and Operations Manual changes affecting staffing, delivery, reporting, client contracts and approved suppliers.
- Validate the TeamLogic IT franchisee’s schedule, manager authority and RMM certification plan against Item 15 and the onsite qualified-technician requirement.
- For a conversion, confirm the Exhibit G requirement to migrate existing managed-services clients to TeamLogic IT within 90 days and identify every legacy contract or tool that must change.
Official operating references
TeamLogic IT converts business development into recurring Managed Services accounts, projects, repairs and approved products. The TeamLogic IT franchisee must acquire and retain clients while supervising delivery. The strongest dependency is the RMM–PSA–QuickBooks Online stack, Brand Standards and Operations Manual and TeamLogic, LLC data access. The key distinction is a protected but nonexclusive Territory with National Account activity. The largest live question is thevendor, manual and outlet configuration in force at signing.
