    Quick facts

    How much does it cost to open a Laborfinders franchise?
    The Laborfinders Franchise Disclosure Document reports separate estimated initial investments by format: $74,045–$183,500 for operating funds breakdown — total (2026 FDD, Item 7, PDF p. 14); $159,535–$363,200 for total estimated initial investment — low estimate (2026 FDD, Item 7, PDF p. 13). These formats are not combined. Each is the franchisor's disclosed estimate, not a quote. Details

    The disclosed initial franchise fee is $20,000 (2026 FDD, Item 5, PDF p. 10). Details
    What ongoing fees does Laborfinders charge?
    The disclosed ongoing royalty is $4 (2026 FDD, Item 6, PDF p. 10). Other recurring fees are listed in Item 6. Details
    Does Laborfinders disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
    No. The reviewed Laborfinders FDD states that it does not make a financial performance representation in Item 19. Details
    How many Laborfinders locations are there?
    The FDD reports 166 outlets at the end of 2025 (2026 FDD, Item 20, PDF p. 35). Existing locations do not indicate territory availability. Details

    Financial Performance — Item 19

    What results are disclosed—and for which locations?

    No financial performance representation in Item 19

    The reviewed 2026 FDD for Laborfinders has no Item 19 figures on record. Franopolis does not estimate revenue or earnings in their place; ask the franchisor and current owners what unit-level information they can share.

    Outlet Changes — Item 20

    How has the outlet count changed?

    United States, as labeled in the FDD · counts as of 2025 of each year.

    2026 FDD · Item 20 · PDF p. 35

    Net −17 outlets, 2023–2025

    0183202317520241662025−8−9

    Year-end counts reported in Item 20. The scale starts at zero, so the line looks nearly flat; the labels between the dots show each year's change. Openings and closures for 2025 haven't been pulled from the Item 20 tables yet, so no turnover or churn is shown.

    Questions to investigate

    Prompts based on what this brand's reviewed disclosures do and don't show — not conclusions. Join free as a member to save questions to your research.

    For the franchisor

    • Which line items in the 2026 Item 7 estimate ($74,045 – $363,200) vary most by market, and why?

    • Laborfinders reports no financial performance figures in Item 19. What information can you share about unit-level results?

    • Reported units decreased from 175 to 166 in 2025. What drove the change?

    • Is a territory available in my area, and how is it defined in my agreement?

    For current and former owners

    • How did your actual startup costs and timeline compare with the Item 7 estimate?

    • How many hours a week do you work in the business, and in what role?

    • What support from the franchisor has been most and least useful?

    For your advisors

    • Ask a franchise attorney to review the territory, renewal, transfer and termination terms.

    • Ask an accountant to build a cash-flow plan using your own assumptions, not the franchisor's.
