IV Nutrition Franchise
Cost, fees, owner earnings, closure rate and litigation for a IV Nutrition franchise — pulled from the franchisor's own public FDD (2025), not its sales material.
Disclosure honesty
IV Nutrition discloses little or no owner-earnings data (Item 19) — the franchisor won't put real profit in writing.
What their own earnings claim actually says
Item 19 not disclosed. FDD excerpts show only franchise agreement boilerplate provisions without financial performance representations.

| Fee | Disclosed | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Initial franchise fee | $49,500 | Item 5 — paid up front, before you open |
| Royalty | 6% of gross sales | Item 6 — charged on revenue, not profit |
| Advertising fund | 2% of gross sales | Item 6 — brand marketing, spent at the franchisor's discretion |
| Total recurring fees | 8% of gross sales | Before rent, labor, food or debt service |
| Total initial investment | $198,050 – $402,550 | Item 7 — franchisor's own low/high estimate |
6% royalty + 2% brand fund + $2,000/mo advertising + $750/mo technology + co-op up to 1% of Net Sales.
Royalty and ad-fund percentages are charged on gross sales — an owner pays them whether or not the location is profitable.
