How does the Chem-Dry royalty show up in the books?

The Chem-Dry royalty is 7% of sales, according to Chem-Dry’s 2026 FDD. We record it on its own line, so each month’s charge can be checked against your sales.

What does it cost to open a Chem-Dry franchise?

Chem-Dry’s 2026 FDD estimates in Item 7 that opening one Chem-Dry location costs $92,150 to $249,500. We turn those Item 7 lines into your opening budget and track each payment against them.

What happens after my Chem-Dry location opens?

Your Chem-Dry books move to the Monthly Close, which closes each month and sends a profit and loss, a balance sheet and the royalty reconciliation. The QuickBooks file stays yours.
