Figures above are as disclosed in Lighting Partners's most recent FDD (registered 2024). Source: Minnesota Dept. of Commerce — CARDS franchise registrations · filing 32427-202409-15. The risk level, the Item 19 figures, how it compares to peers, and the litigation & churn detail are in the full report.
Lighting Partners franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Lighting Partners does not disclose franchise profit or revenue. Its most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-backed earnings figure for Lighting Partners — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (many home services franchisors do disclose), and the full report reads the risk signals Lighting Partners's FDD does contain — fees, litigation, and outlet churn — against peers. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Home services & home improvement franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
Lighting Partners lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
We do not publish a litigation answer for Lighting Partners. Item 3 could not be read reliably from this particular filing, and a claim that a company has no legal history is not one to make on a failed parse — so we say we do not know instead. Item 3 of the FDD itself is the place to check; the methodology page explains what we do and do not machine-read.
Lighting Partners closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Lighting Partners will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Lighting Partners's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a home services of this kind.
The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Lighting Partners's outlet tables are read directly from the FDD in the full report. The actual closure and termination counts, and how Lighting Partners's churn ranks against home services peers, are in the full report.

Who owns Lighting Partners?
Lighting Partners's franchise is offered by Lighting Squad, LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at MN CARDS; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.

Lighting Partners franchise — frequently asked
Who owns Lighting Partners — who is the franchisor?
Lighting Partners's most recently filed FDD (2024) names Lighting Squad, LLC as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself. A registry filing names the franchisor, not necessarily its ultimate parent company.
How much does a Lighting Partners franchise cost?
Lighting Partners's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $33,650 – $119,000, with an initial franchise fee of $25,000 and a 15% royalty. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. The full report breaks down every fee line and benchmarks it against home services peers.
How much profit does a Lighting Partners franchise make?
Lighting Partners makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for Lighting Partners at all — and profit would never be disclosed even where earnings are, because it depends on your rent, labour and how you operate. Any profit figure quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure.
Does Lighting Partners disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
No — Lighting Partners's most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation. Its absence is worth weighing; the report focuses on the verifiable risk signals instead.
Are there lawsuits against Lighting Partners?
We do not publish a litigation answer for Lighting Partners: Item 3 could not be read reliably from this filing, and we would rather say so than assert a clean record we have not verified. Item 3 of the FDD itself is the place to check.
