Pro-Lift Doors Franchise, LLC grants Unit Franchises to qualified individuals and business entities to establish and operate businesses in conjunction with the service mark “PROLIFT GARAGE DOORS” and certain other logos and trademarks (collectively referred to as the “Marks”).1 We refer to the Pro-Lift Doors business you will operate as a Unit Franchisee as the “Franchised Business” or “ProLift Doors Business.” We began offering franchises in September 2015. We do not offer and have not previously offered franchises in any other line of business. We do not operate any businesses like the Franchised Business except that Premium Service Brands owns two garage door businesses that operate similar businesses to the Franchised Business. Pro-Lift Doors Unit Franchises are businesses that provide garage door installation, maintenance and repair services. The prototypical Pro-Lift Doors Unit Franchise offers a full range of garage door services for residences and “light commercial” buildings. Each Pro-Lift Doors business must operate in accordance with our “System”. The distinguishing characteristics of the System include among other things, uniform standards and procedures for business operations and management; procedures and strategies for marketing, advertising and promotions, signage, vehicle wrapping, inventory and materials; methods and techniques for installing garage doors; methods and techniques for inventory and cost control; the Marks; the Operations Manual; uniform standards, specifications and procedures; record keeping, accounting, billing, collections and account management; all of which are designed to enhance the business and managerial aspects of the garage door business.
Franchise Fee The franchise fee (“Franchise Fee”) for a Pro-Lift Doors Unit Franchise is $62,500 (which includes a $2,500 initial technology fee), which must be paid to us by bank wire transfer in one-lump sum upon signing the Franchise Agreement. Financing is also available (see Item 10). This fee is charged for a license to operate from one location in a specific residential territory called the “Protected Territory.” All initial fees described above are fully earned when paid and are not refundable under any circumstances. Based upon the franchisor's financial condition, the Maryland Securities Commissioner has required a financial assurance. Therefore, all initial fees and payments owed by franchisees shall be deferred until the franchisor completes its pre-opening obligations under the franchise agreement. The Virginia State Corporation Commission's Division of Securities and Retain Franchising requires us to defer payment of the initial franchise fee and other initial payments owed by franchisees to the franchisor until the franchisor has completed its pre-opening obligations under the franchise agreement. During our 2018 fiscal year, we offered a special incentive program for U.S. military veterans purchasing a new Franchised Business. Under this program, we offered honorably discharged veterans a 10% discount on the initial franchise fee. One franchisee took advantage of this discount.
We do not offer direct or indirect financing. We do not guarantee your note, lease or obligation.
The FTC's Franchise Rule permits a franchisor to provide information about the actual or potential financial performance of its franchised and/or franchisor-owned outlets, if there is a reasonable basis for the information, and if the information is included in the Disclosure Document. Financial performance information that differs from that included in Item 19 may be given only if: (1) a franchisor provides the actual records of an existing outlet you are considering buying; or (2) a franchisor supplements the information provided in this Item 19, for example, by providing information about possible performance at a particular location or under particular circumstances. We do not make any representations about a franchisee's future financial performance or the past financial performance of the company-owned or franchised outlets. We also do not authorize our employees or representatives to make any such representations either orally or in writing. If you are purchasing an existing outlet, however, we may provide you with the actual records of that outlet. If you receive any other financial performance information or projections of your future income, you should report it to the franchisor's management by contact Paul Flick, 630 Peterson Jefferson Parkway, Suite 200, Charlottesville, VA 22911, (434) 995-5582, the Federal Trade Commission, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies.
