Who buys here
The buyer at this brand
The decision-maker a vendor sells to at this scale, and the gaps they’re paid to close, derived from our data by segment and unit count, not a guess.

- 95.3% of home services brands mandate no POS, leaving a massive whitespace for tech vendors to target before competitors catch on.By identifying the 525 brands with no mandated POS, your sales team can prioritize high-fit targets and cut prospecting waste by 40%, converting weeks of manual research into a single query that surfaces ready-to-sell accounts.
- Without instant access to AUV data, you cannot gauge franchisee ROI or brand health across 239 disclosed home services brands.Seeing median AUV of $661,803.61 at a glance lets you prioritize brands with strong unit economics, increasing win rates by focusing on financially healthy targets and avoiding low-ROI pursuits.
- With median unit growth of only 2.62% YoY across 323 disclosed brands, you need to find the outliers poised for expansion before they hit the market.Using growth signals to identify high-velocity brands lets you engage them during expansion phases, capturing deals 2x faster than reactive competitors who wait for public announcements.
The vendor opportunity at King Clean
King Clean is a home services brand headquartered in Virginia. According to its 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document, the system consists of a single company-owned unit. No franchised units and no multi-unit operators are on file. The average unit volume (AUV) is $433,263. Royalty fees run at 8.0% of gross revenue. For a software vendor, this is not a volume play—it is a direct, single-account sale with the potential to grow with the franchisor if they begin to franchise. The initial franchise term is 10 years, and YoY unit growth is not disclosed.
Who controls software purchasing
All purchasing authority sits at headquarters. The 2026 FDD Item 1 lists Michael Pisco as Chief Executive Officer and Ethan Sneddon as Chief Operations Officer. There are no layers of multi-unit franchisees or regional managers to navigate. A vendor pitching software to King Clean should direct outreach to Pisco and Sneddon as the sole decision-makers. No parent company is on file, indicating that King Clean is independently owned.
Mandated and current tech stack
The FDD is explicit about only one technology mandate: QuickBooks Online. This is the financial backbone at the single operating unit. No additional point-of-sale, scheduling, or customer relationship management systems are named in the filing. Vendors offering complementary financial platforms, field-service management tools, or marketing software can position themselves against this light tech landscape. When engaging, note that any proposed software must integrate with the existing QuickBooks Online environment.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 of the 2026 FDD contains no extract regarding procurement or supplier designations. The procurement model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—is not disclosed. This lack of restriction can be a signal of opportunity: there is no locked-down supply chain disclosed in the filing.
Renewal conditions, per Item 17, allow a franchisee in substantial compliance to renew for an additional 10-year term, provided they sign a new franchise agreement and release, pay a renewal fee if one exists, and refurbish or remodel the premises to then-current standards. The franchise agreement upon renewal may contain materially different terms, including fee structures and territorial rights. Because King Clean currently has no franchised units, there are no immediate renewal-driven upgrade cycles to target. Vendors should monitor for any initial franchising activity, which would create a greenfield technology deployment opportunity under the leadership of Pisco and Sneddon.
How to read the King Clean FDD
The full 2026 FDD is embedded below. Vendors evaluating King Clean should focus on Item 1 to confirm the current executive team, Item 11 to audit the mandated QuickBooks Online obligation, and Item 17 to understand long-term contractual stability. The single-unit structure makes this a straightforward account: no franchisee committee, no decentralized buying centers. Use the embedded viewer to verify all details before outreach.

The 2026 FDD mandates QuickBooks Online. No other specific POS or operational systems are named, leaving potential for vendors in field service management or other operational categories not addressed in the filing.
The 2026 FDD reports 1 total unit, which is company-owned. Zero franchised units and zero multi-unit operators are on file, indicating an early-stage or tightly held franchise system.
The 2026 FDD Item 8 does not specify a procurement or supplier approval structure. It is unknown whether they operate under a designated-supplier, approved-supplier, or open model based on the available filing data.
