Item 19
What National Property Inspections franchisees actually report earning
Median Annual Gross Sales
$90,468
National Property Inspections' 2026 FDD, Item 19, for the 12-month period beginning on January 1, 2025 and ending December 31, 2025 (the “Reporting Period”). Basis: NPI Franchised Businesses that operated within a single Designated Area, each under a separate franchise agreement, and for which Gross Sales were reported separately for that NPI Franchised Business.
Sample size: 152 outlets. The FDD also reports average annual gross sales of $132,622. We lead with the median because an average is pulled upward by the strongest outlets; the median is the middle outlet.
What the franchisor excluded from this figure
- We did not include 37 NPI Franchised Businesses, consisting of: (a) 14 NPI Franchised Businesses that signed a franchise agreement and opened during the Reporting Period; (b) 3 NPI Franchised Businesses that were given a ramp-up period and did not record Gross Sales or pay royalties; (c) 13 NPI Franchised Businesses that ceased to operate during the Reporting Period, consisting of 6 terminations, 6 non-renewals, and 1 that ceased operations for other reasons; and (d) 7 NPI Franchised Businesses operated by 7 franchisees that did not submit Gross Sales reports to us for all months in the Reporting Period.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new National Property Inspections outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
