Border Magic

Home services

Border Magic franchises all 26 of its home-services units, run mostly by single-unit operators — 37 of the 38 mapped operators run just one location, with one operator running between two and nine. Item 11 mandates QuickBooks for accounting, and Intuit shows up in active use as well. For a vendor, that mandate is the entry point: headquarters already sets one piece of the stack, and Indiana, Texas, and Florida hold the largest operator clusters.

For software vendors selling into US franchise brands.

Border Magic® 18 Franchise Disclosure Document | 2026 and developing, updating and hosting our website, intranet or extranet system. We may also use Marketing Fee monies to reimburse our costs of personnel and other administrative and overhead costs associated with the marketing and promotion of the BORDER MAGIC brand. We will not use Marketing Fee monies for creating or placing any advertisement that is principally a solicitation for new franchisees, but may include in all advertising prepared using Marketing Fees (including Internet advertising) information concerning franchise opportunities, and a portion of Marketing Fee monies may be used to create and maintain one or more pages on our website devoted to advertising franchise opportunities and identifying and screening inquiries and applications submitted by prospective franchise candidates. We are not required to spend any particular amount on advertising in your area or territory. Marketing Fee monies are not held in a separate fund and there is no requirement that the Marketing Fee monies be audited. Marketing Fee monies collected during the calendar year that are not spent that specific year, may be used at our discretion during the following year. At the end of each calendar year, you may request an accounting of how the Marketing Fee monies were spent during that specific calendar year. Marketing Fee is not a trust or escrow, and neither we nor our affiliates have any fiduciary obligation for administering the Marketing Fee or for any other reason. We anticipate that all franchisees will contribute Marketing Fees at the same rate. Although not contractually required, we anticipate that all BORDER MAGIC Businesses owned by us or an affiliate will contribute Marketing Fees on the same basis as franchisees. We do not require franchisees to participate in any other advertising funded program. There is no franchisee advertising council that provides us with guidance or suggestions regarding advertising and marketing matters. We do not have a local or regional advertising cooperative in which the franchisee must participate. Computer/Software/Phone System You must purchase, for use in your Franchised Business, the computer systems, equipment, and systems we require in the Manual(s). You must acquire, install, and maintain all required items that we require, which may change from time to time, within 30 days of opening your franchise. We estimate cost of purchasing computer hardware is $650 per unit but shall not exceed $1,000. The computer system and/or POS for your Border Magic Business will be dedicated for the operation of your Border Magic business and used for no other purpose. You must purchase, for use in your Franchised Business at least one computer (placement will be discussed in the Manual(s)) with the specified software installed on them. We may require that you add additional, new or substitute software, replace or upgrade your computer systems and equipment, and enter into maintenance agreements with third parties. You must also purchase and install a basic financial recordkeeping software or cloud service, including the software or cloud service for a basic office suite such as Microsoft office with Word and Excel. Currently, we require you to use the QuickBooks accounting system. Border Magic has obtained a multi-user franchising direct agreement with Intuit, manufacturer of QuickBooks, which you may purchase through us, at the specially-prepared Intuit website for Border Magic franchisees. You will be responsible for any upgrades or updates to the system thereafter. Although we do not set the pricing, Intuit does. Currently the pricing for QuickBooks is $40 per month for the online version or a single payment of $139.96 for a 1 user QuickBooks Pro or $384.96 for a 3 User license. In addition, you must purchase the QuickBooks. All sales must be processed through the approved POS systems and reported as Gross Revenue and no other supplemental or secondary POS system may be used. At our discretion you must either give us direct access or provide us financial reports related to your Gross Revenue on a monthly basis.

The vendor opportunity at Border Magic Border Magic franchises all 26 of its home-services units. Ownership is fragmented in the way home-services systems often are: 37 of 38 mapped operators run a single unit, and only one runs between two and nine. Indiana, Texas, and Florida carry the largest operator clusters.

Who controls software purchasing Item 2 names Frank J. 'Butch' Mogavero as Chief Executive Officer, Robin Mogavero as Treasurer and Director of Human Resources, and Les Sander as Chief Operations Officer. Because QuickBooks is mandated at the franchisor level, headquarters — not individual operators — sets that piece of the stack.

Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required Item 11 mandates QuickBooks by Intuit for accounting, and Intuit itself appears in active use in the filing. Facebook, Google Places, LinkedIn, and Twitter are named in Item 11, and Pinterest in Item 13, but none of them is required.

Procurement, renewals, and timing Item 8 runs an approved-supplier list. The BM2000 machine, trailer, marketing and initial supplies, and other necessary equipment must come from Border Magic or its designees, while some items can be sourced from any supplier meeting specification; franchisees may propose an alternative for approval. The 10-year initial term renews under Item 17 for franchisees who sign the then-current agreement, give timely notice, renovate to current standards, stay current on payments, pay the renewal fee, and clear licensing, training, and background requirements.
