Beyond the filing
Everything else on this page is quoted from Prism Specialties'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.

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 Prism Specialties franchise cost?
Prism Specialties' most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $167K–$285K. 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 $84,000, and is included in that range.
What royalty does Prism Specialties charge?
Prism Specialties charges a continuing royalty of 7% 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 Prism Specialties disclose earnings (Item 19)?
No. Prism Specialties 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 Prism Specialties locations closed?
In its most recent reported year (2025), Prism Specialties opened 72, closed 0, terminated 0 franchised outlets, ending the year with 404. Averaged over three years, 1.7% of the system turned over annually — outlets closed, terminated, not renewed or reacquired. These counts come from Item 20, which every franchisor must file.
