Item 7
What it costs to open a DVMmatch franchise
The franchisor's own estimated initial investment, as disclosed in its 2025 FDD. The total is $77,500 to $129,000. Each line below carries the FDD page it was read from.
Where the money goes
The largest costs are ADDITIONAL FUNDS - 3 MONTHS AFTER OPENING ($5,000 to $10,000), TRAVEL AND LIVING EXPENSES WHILE TRAINING ($3,000 to $5,000), and LEGAL AND PROFESSIONAL FEES ($2,500 to $5,000). Together they make up about 16% of the high-end estimate.
The initial franchise fee is $65,000 to $105,000, about 84% of the low-end total.

Item 19
What DVMmatch franchisees actually report earning
This brand's FDD publishes no Item 19.
We do not make any representations about a franchisee’s future financial performance or the past financial performance of company-owned or franchised businesses. 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 Business, however, we may provide you with the actual records of that Business. If you receive any other financial performance information or projections of your future income, you should report it to us by contacting Thad Miller at tmiller@dvmmatch.com or the Federal Trade Commission, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies.

Three years at a glance
From 2021 through 2023, DVMmatch opened 3 franchised outlets and no outlets left the system. That is a net gain of 3, from 0 to 3 franchised outlets.
With fewer than 10 outlets, one closure moves the numbers a lot, so we do not calculate a yearly rate.
Our arithmetic from the FDD's Item 20 table below. "Left the system" counts every outlet the franchisor reports as terminated, not renewed, bought back, or closed for other reasons.
