Beyond the filing

Everything else on this page is quoted from PIRTEK'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.

They were captured before we began scoring extraction confidence, so we can't put a number on them. They remain sourced — the filing is linked below. We publish the score rather than hiding it — see the methodology.

What it really costs

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

Total initial investment · Item 7$247K–$690K
$0$1.0M
ExpenseLowHigh
Initial franchise fee
Total initial investment$247,013$689,614

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 85% of business services franchises on this site with a disclosed Item 7 range (124 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 business services brands that do disclose one.

Legal history

CLEAR

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 PIRTEK franchise cost?

PIRTEK's most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $247K–$690K. That is Item 7, which covers everything needed to open — the franchise fee, build-out, equipment, opening inventory and initial working capital.

What royalty does PIRTEK charge?

PIRTEK 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 PIRTEK disclose earnings (Item 19)?

No. PIRTEK 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.

How many PIRTEK locations closed?

In its most recent reported year (2025), PIRTEK opened 39, closed 0, terminated 8 franchised outlets, ending the year with 178. Averaged over three years, 3.2% of the system turned over annually — outlets closed, terminated, not renewed or reacquired. These counts come from Item 20, which every franchisor must file.

Does PIRTEK give a protected territory?

PIRTEK'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 a third-party archive's copy of PIRTEK's Franchise Disclosure Document, not filed with us directly — treat figures here as one step further from the original filing.

Item 20 full year-over-year table (opened/closed/terminated/etc.) was not captured in the fetched excerpt; only the year-end 2024 franchised-unit count (162) was returned. Item 17 non-compete radius is defined by the franchisee's 'Territory' boundaries rather than a fixed mileage figure, so item17_noncompete_miles is left null. $15,000 veteran discount on the initial fee not reflected in item5_initial_fee (full fee reported).
