Benjamin Franklin Plumbing Franchise Model Overview

Benjamin Franklin Plumbing franchisees provide residential and light-commercial plumbing repair, replacement, remodel, drain cleaning, water conditioning and septic work; new construction and industrial jobs are excluded. The franchisor is part of Authority Brands, the Apax-backed home-services platform, which delivers training in Phoenix, ServiceTitan software and call-center infrastructure. A unit is a leased 2,000 to 3,000 square-foot office and warehouse with at least two branded vehicles, one service and one installation, so the investment is low-to-mid six figures and scales with trucks and territory count. Royalty is 6 percent with a monthly minimum, the brand fund is 1.5 percent and a 6 percent local marketing spend is mandatory, making marketing the largest ongoing fee. A trained key person must work on premises, owners of 5 percent or more sign personal guarantees, and state plumbing licensing often sits with an owner. The system is growing fast, adding 30 to 50 franchised territories a year to about 400, with ten company-owned units.
