Compared with every brand we can rate, Pro-Lift Garage Doors is worse than 98% of them
That is 420 brands across every industry, which is a rougher comparison than like-for-like — a cleaning franchise and a restaurant do not carry the same risk. We use it here because Painting and Wall Covering Contractors has only 6 brands with enough finished loans to compare against. See the peers anyway →
We only know how 21 of this brand’s 63 loans ended. The government withholds the outcome on 35 of the others, so everything above is based on 33% of the record.
10 of 21 franchisees who borrowed to buy this brand did not repay. See every loan →
There is more in Pro-Lift Garage Doors’s filing
What it costs to open is free, above. Access opens what the franchisor disclosed about earning it back — here and on every other brand we have read:
- What Item 19 states its outlets earn, and on how many of them
- Every ongoing fee, not just the royalty — priced in dollars a year
- How many franchisees left, were terminated, or sold up
- Territory, renewal, non-compete and dispute terms
- What in the record is worth asking about, and why
- A five-year projection you can put your own rent, wages and borrowing into
One price opens all of it, on every brand we have read. Once opened it stays open.
The loan record stays free — how many of this brand’s franchisees borrowed from a bank to buy in, and how many never paid it back. That is a public government record and we do not charge for it. What you pay for is only what we read out of the franchisor’s own disclosure document.
