772 East Utah Valley Drive, Suite 120
The franchisor is ZEROREZ Franchising Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation, located at 772 East Utah Valley Drive, American Fork, Utah 84003.
ZEROREZ is in the business of providing residential and business carpet, tile, fabric care, living surfaces, and restorative cleaning services, including upholstery, fabrics, hard surfaces floors, and optionally air duct cleaning, air filters and wood floor cleaning and restoration (the “Services”) under its trademarks and service marks, providing access to equipment and supplies related to those services and licensing franchisees to operate a ZEROREZ Franchise in a particular geographic area (the “Territory”). Franchisees are prohibited from pursuing, marketing or providing products or Services to non-residential customers outside their Territory, unless approved in advance in writing by us. Each ZEROREZ franchisee must be organized as either a corporation or limited liability company prior to executing a franchise agreement and commencing operations as a ZEROREZ franchise. Each ZEROREZ Franchise must offer the complete line of Services related to carpet and living surfaces care to individuals and businesses using methods and techniques specified by us. We will allow you to offer optional services such as wood floor cleaning and restoration, air duct cleaning, and other optional services that we may approve from time to time, so long as you follow the guidelines we prescribe for such optional services. The Services are provided using the proprietary ZEROREZ technology and equipment, contained in a cargo van as further specified in our confidential brand standards manuals (“Manuals” further defined in Item 11) bearing our distinctive colors and marks (“Mobile Unit”). ZEROREZ franchisees also offer various products and cleaning supplies specified by us for sale to the public. The market for these products and Services is well developed and encompasses any individuals and businesses with floor care needs in your Territory. If you become a ZEROREZ franchisee, you must compete with a large number of already established locally owned, regional or national floor care businesses, many of which have been in business for a significant period of time. You should investigate your local market for businesses operating under such categories as “Carpet and Upholstery Cleaners” and “Tile and Stone Care” to determine the number of competitors in your area. You can anticipate that, because of the number of competitors likely to be in your area of interest, consumers are likely to be very cost conscious. We began offering franchises in 2003. We have not offered franchises in any other line of business. A ZEROREZ Franchise is subject to numerous laws and governmental regulations that apply to businesses generally. In addition, certain areas of the country may have environmental regulations that may affect how you operate your ZEROREZ Franchise. Before you purchase a ZEROREZ Franchise, you should investigate the existence of those regulations in your area. Your franchise may be located within an area allocated to a Regional Developer. If this is the case, the Regional Developer may perform some of the following services on our behalf: (i) solicit prospective franchisees and, as we request, assist in the franchise sales process; (ii) perform certain site acquisition and development services; and (iii) render compliance and enforcement services for and on behalf of us, and provide additional marketing, operational, training and field support services to franchisees. You may also be required to participate in a marketing cooperative covering the Regional Developer's territory and, to pay Regional Developer directly for call center services that you would otherwise provide yourself, if your Territory was not covered by a Regional Developer. The Regional Developer is limited in the amount it can charge you for the call center services. Regional Developers are not authorized, and Regional Developer sales services do not include the right to approve prospects as ZEROREZ franchisees, offer or sell franchises, or negotiate or sign franchise agreements on our behalf. Regional Developers are not party to contracts between us and you. The full disclosures required for Regional Developers are contained in a separate franchise disclosure document

Summary of Investment Costs
Upfront Franchise Fees
Minimum: $17,260 Maximum: $63,230
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: $262,394 Maximum: $618,706
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.
