Beyond the filing
Everything else on this page is quoted from Bio-One's franchise disclosure document. This is not — it is measured off the open web, it is not verified by the franchisor, and it never affects the Factbook Score.

A restoration franchise. Its official site emphasizes: Bio-One provides 24/7 biohazard, crime and trauma scene, hoarding, and decontamination cleanup through locally owned offices. Its Help First, Business Second positioning emphasizes discreet, compassionate response, while the franchise combines emergency-demand services with a mobile, territory-based model.

Earnings disclosure
Does the franchisor share performance data? No
This brand's filing does not include an Item 19 financial performance representation. That's common — a large share of franchisors disclose nothing here — but it means you should ask for unit-level economics directly during discovery calls. Compare against restoration brands that do disclose one.

Common questions
Answered from this brand's own FDD filing. Where the filing is silent, the question is left out rather than answered with a guess.
How much does a Bio-One franchise cost?
Bio-One's most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $135K–$221K. That is Item 7, which covers everything needed to open — the franchise fee, build-out, equipment, opening inventory and initial working capital. The initial franchise fee itself is $60,000, and is included in that range.
What royalty does Bio-One charge?
Bio-One charges a continuing royalty of 8% of gross sales, disclosed in Item 6. Royalties are charged on revenue, not profit, so they are owed whether or not the outlet is profitable.
How many Bio-One locations closed?
In its most recent reported year (2025), Bio-One opened 24, closed 0, terminated 34 franchised outlets, ending the year with 288. Averaged over three years, 10.9% of the system turned over annually — outlets closed, terminated, not renewed or reacquired. These counts come from Item 20, which every franchisor must file.
