The HomeTeam Inspection Service 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 The HomeTeam Inspection Service's 6% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a The HomeTeam Inspection Service franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "The HomeTeam Inspection Service franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. The full report sets The HomeTeam Inspection Service's disclosed revenue against its total ongoing fee load, so you can see what that revenue has to cover before anything reaches you.
The HomeTeam Inspection Service lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
The HomeTeam Inspection Service's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024) does disclose 1 legal proceeding in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against The HomeTeam Inspection Service itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. The full The HomeTeam Inspection Service report lists each case with what it was about and how it ended, separates franchisee disputes from corporate and securities matters, and flags the ones a franchisee started — the split that actually matters, because franchisees suing their franchisor is the signal a buyer is looking for.
