How much does a WIN Home Inspection franchise make?
WIN Home Inspection 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 home services brand that discloses earnings in the Home services & home improvement franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.
WIN Home Inspection 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 WIN Home Inspection's 7% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a WIN Home Inspection franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "WIN Home Inspection franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.
WIN Home Inspection lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
WIN Home Inspection's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) 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 WIN Home Inspection 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. 1 of those proceedings were brought by franchisees against the franchisor — the split that actually matters, because franchisees suing their franchisor is the signal a buyer is looking for. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.
WIN Home Inspection closures & failure rate
Before you sign, WIN Home Inspection 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 WIN Home Inspection'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. WIN Home Inspection's latest tables show a shrinking franchised network — more units left than opened. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 9.2%, against a home services median of 5.1% — worse than the category. Net franchised outlets moved -24 to 247 in the latest reported year.
Who owns WIN Home Inspection?
WIN Home Inspection's franchise is offered by World Inspection Network International 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.
