The vendor opportunity at RPG Franchising
RPG Franchising operates in the home services segment with a current footprint of 22 total units—21 franchised and 1 company-owned—according to the 2025 FDD. Year-over-year unit growth sits at 23.529%, signaling active expansion for a system of this size. For a software vendor, the immediate addressable market is the 21 franchised locations, though the absence of a disclosed average unit volume (AUV) makes it difficult to model per-unit revenue potential without further discovery.
The royalty rate is 5.0%, and the initial franchise term runs 10 years. These economics are standard for home services, but the small unit count means any vendor engagement will be a high-touch, relationship-driven sale rather than a volume play. The growth rate, however, suggests the system is in a scaling phase where operational tools often become a priority.
Who controls software purchasing
The 2025 FDD does not list any HQ executives in Item 1, and no operator footprint is mapped in our corpus. This leaves the software buying center undefined. In practice, for a 22-unit system, purchasing authority likely rests with a founder or a small leadership team at the North Carolina headquarters. Vendors should prepare to identify and educate that buyer directly, as there is no published CIO, VP of Technology, or procurement contact to reference. The decision-maker level is unknown based on franchisor mandate signals.
Mandated and current tech stack
No mandated or recommended technology systems are captured in the 2025 FDD. This means the franchisor does not publicly require franchisees to use a specific POS, CRM, scheduling, or field-service management platform. For a vendor, this represents a greenfield opportunity: there is no incumbent to displace by mandate. However, it also means you will need to sell franchisees individually or convince the franchisor to adopt a system-wide recommendation, which requires proving ROI at the unit level.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
The FDD does not include an Item 8 procurement extract, so the formal purchasing model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or fully open—is not disclosed. Renewal terms, however, are clearly defined in Item 17. A franchisee may renew for one additional 10-year term by providing written notice between 180 and 270 days before expiration, signing the then-current agreement, executing a general release, paying a renewal fee, and completing any updated training or upgrade obligations. This renewal window creates a natural trigger for technology evaluation, as operators must satisfy maintenance and update requirements to qualify.
How to read the RPG Franchising FDD
The full 2025 FDD is embedded below for your own analysis. Focus on Item 1 for any newly listed executives, Item 8 for future procurement restrictions, and Item 11 for any technology obligations that may appear in subsequent filings. The document was filed with state franchise regulators and remains the primary source for verifying the franchisor's operational mandates and legal constraints.
