How much does a Satellite Teams franchise make?

Satellite Teams is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure is $1,015,122 in average unit revenue — read it alongside what Item 19 says about which units it covers (often only mature or top-performing locations).

Satellite Teams franchise profit vs. revenue

Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come Satellite Teams's 10% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Satellite Teams franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Satellite Teams franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $1,015,122 of revenue, a 10% royalty alone is about $101,512 a year before any other cost.

Satellite Teams lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

We do not publish a litigation answer for Satellite Teams. 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.

Satellite Teams closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Satellite Teams 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 Satellite Teams's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a business 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. Satellite Teams's latest tables show a stable franchised network.

Who owns Satellite Teams?

Satellite Teams's franchise is offered by Satellite Teams Global LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at WI DFI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.
