We grant franchises for establishing, marketing, promoting, advertising, managing, conducting and operating businesses that perform HVAC cleaning and restoration services (the “Services”) under our marks (the “Marks”). Each DUCTZ Business will be awarded a geographic territory (the “Territory”) which includes a Designated Office Territory (“DOT”) and a Regional Service Area (“RSA”) where you may advertise, and solicit business, and where you may also perform services under certain conditions as described in Section 1 of the Franchise Agreement. Under certain conditions, other franchisee(s), Company Store(s) (as defined below), we and/or DUCTZ North America, LLC (collectively referred to as “DUCTZ Affiliates”) may also solicit and perform services in the Territory, but again, only as described in Section 1 of the Franchise Agreement. A “Company Store” refers to a DUCTZ Business that is owned by DUCTZ International, LLC, or DUCTZ North America, LLC. We grant franchises only in accordance with our Franchise Agreement (the “Franchise Agreement”). A copy of it is attached as Exhibit A. You will identify that you are a DUCTZ franchisee by exhibiting the DUCTZ Marks on your marketing materials, vehicles, employee uniforms, stationery, business cards, invoices, and other business supplies. © 2019 DUCTZ International, LLC Franchise Disclosure Document 3 DUCTZ Businesses offer the Services for residential and commercial buildings. DUCTZ Franchises operate under distinctive and proprietary business formats, systems, methods, procedures, techniques, designs and specifications.

Upfront Franchise Fees
Minimum: $81,508 Maximum: $106,508
Upfront franchise fees are the one-time payments required to secure rights to operate under an established brand, typically ranging from $20,000 to $100,000+ depending on brand value.
These fees grant access to proprietary business systems, training programs, intellectual property rights, and often territorial exclusivity—essentially purchasing the blueprint for a proven business model.
While separate from ongoing royalties, investors should evaluate these fees against expected returns, comparing fee-to-earnings ratios across opportunities and assessing how effectively franchisors reinvest these funds into system improvements.
Total Investment Costs
Minimum: $169,637 Maximum: $235,872
Ongoing Fees
Ongoing franchise fees, typically structured as royalties ranging from 4-8% of gross sales, represent the continuous payments franchisees make to maintain brand affiliation and support services.
These recurring fees fund the franchisor's operational assistance, marketing initiatives, technology updates, and continued brand development—creating a partnership where the franchisor's revenue grows alongside the franchisee's success. In addition to royalties, franchisees often contribute to national advertising funds (usually 1-3% of sales) and may incur technology fees, supply chain markups, or renewal fees depending on the franchise agreement.
Investors should carefully analyze these ongoing costs within their financial projections, as they directly impact profit margins and cash flow throughout the entire franchise relationship.
