Beyond the filing
Everything else on this page is quoted from Budget Blinds'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.

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 Budget Blinds franchise cost?
Budget Blinds' most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $101K–$211K. 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 is not a single figure: $14,950 for first Territory (no fee for subsequent territories)
What royalty does Budget Blinds charge?
Budget Blinds charges a continuing royalty of 4% 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.
Does Budget Blinds disclose earnings (Item 19)?
Yes. Budget Blinds makes a financial performance representation in Item 19 of its FDD. The filing reports average annual gross revenue of $451,410 and a median of $322,250. That figure covers 199 outlets. Item 19 is optional under the FTC Franchise Rule, and gross revenue is not profit — it is stated before royalties, rent, staff and every other cost.
Does Budget Blinds give a protected territory?
Budget Blinds' FDD describes a protected territory in Item 12. Protection varies in what it actually excludes — franchisors commonly reserve online sales and alternative channels inside it — so the wording in the filing matters more than the yes.
