Voda is one of the fastest-growing restoration franchises in the country.
The highlights:
- $2.4M sales at the founding location
- Floor cleaning + restoration
- Recession-resistant business
- 80+ franchise owners
Let’s dive in:
Business Model
Voda has two core services: carpet cleaning + restoration.
Carpet cleaning provides consistent, predictable revenue that you can start getting immediately. You get paid for these jobs at the time of service.
Restoration (water, mold, fire remediation) jobs are higher tickets but less predictable. Since they are usually paid for by insurance, which takes 45-60 days.
Both services use the same water-extraction equipment & labor. This dilutes your fixed costs & increases your margins.
Earnings Potential
In the 2024 FDD Item 19 they provide a detailed P&L and mix of business for the founding location in Northern VA/DC market.
Over the last 3 years, the founding location sales have grown from $1.47M to $2.40M while increasing the net margin from 19% to 26%.
The FDD provides more details & context about this specific corporate location.
They also provide details on revenue and average ticket per service.
Start-Up Costs
The initial estimated investment is $176k to $257k for one territory of 85k owner-occupied homes. That includes the franchise fee, the van, tools, equipment, grand-opening marketing, working capital, & more.
They offer a discounted franchise fee on additional territories purchased upfront. They are SBA-approved, which means you only need ~30% down for roughly $75k
You can start the business from your garage to keep your overhead low. Eventually, you’ll move into a small warehouse space.
