- Teams spend weeks manually combing through FDDs to assess unit counts and financials across 554 active home services brands.Replacing manual FDD research with instant corpus search saves 15+ hours per brand evaluation, allowing your team to assess 10x more targets and accelerate pipeline velocity by 30%.
- 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.
The vendor opportunity at PJSJ Enterprises PJSJ Enterprises runs 20 franchised home-services locations out of its New York headquarters, all franchisee-owned. Unit count fell 4.8% year over year, and the FDD makes no financial performance representation in Item 19. At a 10% royalty and a 5-year initial term, this is a small, closely held system rather than a scaled network.
Who controls software purchasing Item 2 names Peter Gouris as the company's sole owner — the person behind any purchasing decision at PJSJ Enterprises. Item 8's supplier model is open: the FDD places no restrictions on where franchisees buy approved products and services, though the franchisor may offer a supplier list without requiring its use.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required None of the systems in the filing are mandated. Bing by Microsoft, Facebook by Meta, LinkedIn, Scorpion, Twitter by X and YouTube by Google are all named in the filing without being tied to any requirement to use them.
Procurement, renewals, and timing Operator data maps a single operator in New York, with no multi-unit presence recorded. Item 17 offers up to three additional 5-year successor terms for new franchisees, though a franchisee entering a successor term may not retain rights to further renewals depending on the terms of their expired agreement. That 5-year cycle is the practical window for a vendor conversation.
