How much does a Venture X franchise make?

Venture X 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 did not machine-read cleanly from this filing, so we don't print one; Item 19 of the source FDD has the tables. See every other brand that discloses earnings in the Other franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.

Venture X 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 royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Venture X franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Venture X franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.

Venture X lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Venture X's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025) does disclose legal proceedings in Item 3 — though its pending and completed litigation sub-answers read “None”, so what is disclosed is a restrictive order or administrative action rather than an active lawsuit. 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 Venture X 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. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.

Venture X closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Venture X 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 Venture X's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a franchise 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. Venture X's latest tables show a growing franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 8.8%. Net franchised outlets moved +4 to 61 in the latest reported year.

Who owns Venture X?

Venture X's franchise is offered by VENTURE X FRANCHISING, LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025), 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.

Venture X franchise — frequently asked

Who owns Venture X — who is the franchisor?

Venture X's most recently filed FDD (2025) names VENTURE X FRANCHISING, 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 Venture X franchise cost?

Venture X's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $45,000 – $60,000. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. Against category peers it sits in the top quartile (median $235,015).

How much profit does a Venture X franchise make?

Venture X discloses unit earnings in Item 19, but that figure is revenue — sales — not profit. Royalties, the ad fund, rent, payroll and supplies all come out of it, and no FDD discloses what an owner nets. Any Venture X franchise profit number quoted elsewhere is an estimate.

Does Venture X disclose financial performance (Item 19)?

Yes — Venture X reports unit-level earnings in Item 19. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly, so check Item 19 of the source FDD for the numbers.

Are there lawsuits against Venture X?

Venture X's most recently filed FDD (2025) discloses legal proceedings in Item 3, in the form of a restrictive order or administrative action rather than pending litigation. Item 3 covers the franchisor, its predecessors, parents and affiliates — so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Venture X itself, and a disclosure is not a finding of wrongdoing.

Is Venture X a good franchise to buy?

Nobody can answer that from Venture X's numbers alone — it comes down to how its investment, earnings, litigation and franchisee churn stack up against category peers and against your own budget. Our read on this filing is medium risk. Every figure behind that read is on this page for free. If you're comparing options, the free shortlist on this page matches you with 5–10 franchises that fit your budget and industry.
