Beyond the filing

Everything else on this page is quoted from Stratus Building Solutions'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$6K–$80K
$0$250K
ExpenseLowHigh
Initial franchise fee
Total initial investment$6,100$80,125

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.

One of the cheapest to open among cleaning franchises on this site with a disclosed Item 7 range (85 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 cleaning 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 Stratus Building Solutions franchise cost?

Stratus Building Solutions' most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $6K–$80K. 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: Tiered by service-volume plan: $4,000–$69,000 (SBS-6 through SBS-300 plans); 10% cash-payment discount available

What royalty does Stratus Building Solutions charge?

Stratus Building Solutions charges a continuing royalty of 5% 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 Stratus Building Solutions disclose earnings (Item 19)?

No. Stratus Building Solutions 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 Stratus Building Solutions give a protected territory?

No. Stratus Building Solutions' Item 12 does not grant an exclusive or protected territory, which means the franchisor may place another outlet nearby.

Facts on this page are sourced from Stratus Building Solutions' Franchise Disclosure Document.

Fee structure is unusual: in addition to the 5% royalty there is a separate 10% 'Administration' fee and a currently-unimposed-but-reserved 1% advertising fee; none of these map cleanly onto the brand_fund/tech_fee schema fields so they are described here instead. Item 17 radius (20 miles) came from text the model flagged as possibly truncated in the source excerpt — treat as indicative, not certain. Item 20 outlet table not captured (document references Exhibits D-1/D-2/E-1/E-2 franchisee lists but no numeric table was in the fetched excerpt). vettedbiz.com separately lists Appleton, WI as HQ with 3,786 total US locations and a 2015 franchising-since date — likely reflects a different (more recent, or a master-franchisee) filing; the FDD PDF's own stated North Hollywood, CA / 2008 details are used here as the primary-source figures.
