What the Servpro numbers mean next to the rest of the benchmark

This section places the stored $263,305 to $385,570 range against the other 54 brand groups. The medians, ranks, ratios, and nearest peers are Inkvex arithmetic, not franchisor disclosures. The corpus mixes 2024 through 2026 records, multiple formats, and different real-estate treatments, so use it for directional comparison and verify the underlying rows before making a decision.

Against Home services

Across the 8 Home services format rows in this benchmark, the median low is $156,028 and the median high is $267,750. Servpro opens 69% above that median low, a gap of $107,277, and tops out 44% above the median high, a gap of $117,820. 25% of Home services formats here exclude real estate from the headline total, so check the real-estate handling before setting two brands in this category side by side.

Against all 55 brands

Servpro ranks 37th of 55 by high-end total, its $385,570 high end running 40% below the $644,000 corpus median high, and its $263,305 low end 4% below the $275,500 corpus median low. The brands sitting closest to Servpro on high-end total are FastSigns at $386,285 in Business svc, Wild Birds Unlimited at $379,309 in Retail and Great Clips at $419,900 in Beauty, which is the company Servpro actually keeps on cost regardless of what industry it is sorted into.

The spread between low and high

Servpro discloses a high end 1.5 times its low end, against a median of 2.1 times across these 55 brands. At 1.5 times, the ratio sits at or below the lower quartile of this benchmark. The arithmetic shows a relatively narrow stored range; it does not establish that the estimate is complete or that a local project will fit inside it. The gap between the two ends is $122,265, and nothing in Item 7 tells a buyer where inside that gap their own build lands.

What financing review still requires

This page does not calculate the cash a buyer needs and does not predict lender approval. SBA currently lists a $5,000,000 maximum for a single 7(a) loan, but eligibility, loan amount, documents, and terms depend on the borrower, lender, project, and transaction. The currently effective SBA SOP 50 10, Version 8.1 (effective October 1, 2026) contains transaction-specific equity rules. A lender should build the sources-and-uses schedule from the current FDD, local bids, working capital, and any costs the Item 7 range excludes.

What the headline total does and does not include

The total reflects plus population and real-estate add-ons rather than a real-estate purchase. In plain terms, the $263,305 to $385,570 headline for Servpro reflects occupying premises rather than buying them, so lease terms drive what the space actually costs.

Verify this before you sign a Servpro agreement

This page is a benchmark comparison sourced to the filing cited above. When the relevant language appears in the Servpro FDD you upload, an Inkvex review can surface quoted passages, a 1-to-10 risk score, real-estate and working-capital issues, and an attorney-handoff summary. Coverage depends on the document and analysis output, so verify every material point against the filing and with franchise counsel.
