Advanced Laser Restoration

The vendor opportunity at Advanced Laser Restoration

Advanced Laser Restoration operates in the home services segment with a single franchised unit, as disclosed in its 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document. The total number of company-owned locations is not disclosed. This makes the franchise one of the smallest addressable markets a software vendor could target—essentially a single-location account. For vendors accustomed to selling into multi-unit franchise systems, this represents a highly limited opportunity unless the franchisor has aggressive growth plans, which are not indicated in the available data. The royalty rate is 10.0% of gross revenue, and the initial franchise term runs 10 years.

Who controls software purchasing

Software purchasing decisions at Advanced Laser Restoration are centralized. The only executive named in the FDD is Greg A. Price, who serves as the Agent for Service of Process. In a system this small, the individual holding that role typically also functions as the primary decision-maker for operational and technology procurement. There is no CIO, CTO, or separate IT buyer listed. Vendors pitching software should expect to engage directly with Mr. Price or an equivalent owner-operator at the headquarters level. No multi-unit operators are mapped in our corpus, reinforcing that all purchasing authority resides at HQ.

Mandated and current tech stack

The 2024 FDD mandates one technology system: QuickBooks by Intuit Inc. This is the only software requirement disclosed. No point-of-sale, CRM, scheduling, or field-service management platforms are mentioned as required or recommended. For vendors selling complementary or replacement tools—such as estimating software, customer communication platforms, or inventory management—the current tech stack appears minimal, but any adoption would need to clear a single decision-maker. The absence of a broader mandated stack means the franchisee may have discretion over non-financial software, though the FDD does not explicitly confirm this.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The FDD does not include an Item 8 extract, so the procurement model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—is not publicly known. Renewal terms are more transparent: a franchisee may obtain up to two additional 5-year terms by meeting conditions that include compliance with contractual obligations, conforming to then-current standards for new franchisees, signing the then-current franchise agreement, and paying a Renewal Fee of $5,000. These renewal windows, occurring at years 10 and 15, could serve as natural points when technology standards are revisited and new software mandates introduced. Given the single-unit footprint, however, any software purchasing event is likely to be ad hoc rather than tied to a predictable cycle.

How to read the Advanced Laser Restoration FDD

The 2024 FDD is embedded below for full review. Key sections for software vendors include Item 1, which identifies Greg A. Price as the Agent for Service of Process; Item 11, which mandates QuickBooks; and Item 17, which outlines renewal conditions and fees. The document was filed with state franchise regulators in 2024. For vendors evaluating whether to allocate sales resources to this franchise, the FDD confirms a very small current footprint with centralized purchasing and minimal existing technology requirements.
