Nerds On Call Franchise

Nerds On Call, a Nerds On Call Inc franchise, has been franchising since 2007 - 3 years after the concept was founded in 2004 , currently with 80 total locations in the tech-it sector, headquartered in CA. Per the 2024 FDD, budget a total initial investment of $60K to $120K, roughly a 100% gap between the low and high end once site size, local market, and buildout scope are factored in. Included in that number: the franchise fee of $30K, equipment, leasehold improvements, and initial working capital to carry the business through ramp-up.

The brand charges 6.0% of gross sales in ongoing royalties. No Item 19 financial performance data is disclosed for Nerds On Call; the FTC Franchise Rule makes that disclosure optional, and plenty of franchisors skip it. Prospective buyers should compensate by calling Item 20 contacts, building their own unit-economics model from comparable brands, and insisting on real profit-and-loss numbers before signing.

Network momentum is currently positive: Nerds On Call added units at a 2.5% net rate year-over-year (5 openings, 3 closures). Growing networks tend to signal healthy unit economics for prospective operators, though it is worth distinguishing organic demand from an aggressive franchise-sales push.
