Beyond the filing

Everything else on this page is quoted from Floor Coverings International'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.

What it really costs

Every cost figure this brand's filing discloses — not just the headline range

Total initial investment · Item 7$183K–$247K
$0$250K
ExpenseLowHigh
Initial franchise fee$53,000$53,000
Total initial investment$183,000$247,000

Item 7 reports a total range, not a full line-item breakdown, in this brand's filing excerpt — the franchise fee is the only cost we can show separately today.

Costs more to open than 76% of home services franchises on this site with a disclosed Item 7 range (203 compared). Computed from total investment, not a figure from the filing itself.

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 home services brands that do disclose one.

Legal history

CLEAR
No bankruptcy disclosures for the franchisor or its officers.
4 CASES
Four lawsuits disclosed, all initiated by FCI against former franchisees in the last fiscal year: one for breach of post-term restrictive covenant, trademark infringement, and collection; three for collection of monies owed.
PROTECTED
Item 12 grants a protected territory.
NOT DISCLOSED
Non-compete term/radius wasn't separately quantified in the filing excerpt we have on file.

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 Floor Coverings International franchise cost?

Floor Coverings International's most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $183K–$247K. 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 $53,000, and is included in that range.

What royalty does Floor Coverings International charge?

Floor Coverings International charges a continuing royalty of Greater of 5% of Gross Sales or $833/month (months 1-12), $1,250/month (months 13-24), $1,667/month thereafter, disclosed in Item 6. Royalties are charged on revenue, not profit, so they are owed whether or not the outlet is profitable.

Does Floor Coverings International disclose earnings (Item 19)?

No. Floor Coverings International makes no financial performance representation in its FDD. Item 19 is the only optional item under the FTC Franchise Rule, so omitting it is lawful and common — but it means the franchisor publishes no revenue or profit figures for its outlets, and any figure quoted elsewhere is not from the filing.

Does Floor Coverings International give a protected territory?

Floor Coverings International's 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.

Facts on this page are sourced from Floor Coverings International's Franchise Disclosure Document.

Item 5 fee is $53,000 before a 10% IFA VetFran discount for qualifying veterans. Item 12 territory protection is limited: franchisee gets a Designated Market Area (DMA, postal codes with 50,000-80,000 single-family dwellings) but explicitly not an exclusive territory; FCI retains rights to National Accounts, Commercial Services, and alternative distribution channels within it. Item 17 references an Article VI Nondisclosure and Noncompetition Agreement but term/radius were not in the retrieved excerpt; left null. Item 20 outlet table referenced but not included in the fetched content.
