OpenWorks figures from the FDD
OpenWorks’ 2026 FDD, issued 9 April 2026, makes no financial performance representation in Item 19, so it gives no sales or profit figure. An OpenWorks franchise costs $4,250 to $134,480 to open, including a $24,850 initial franchise fee. OpenWorks charges a royalty of 15% of sales and a 2.5% brand fund contribution.

Questions from OpenWorks owners
Does Averan Advisors work with OpenWorks owners?
Averan Advisors sets up and keeps the books for OpenWorks owners, and the Averan franchise library has a breakdown of OpenWorks’ 2026 FDD with its fees, cost to open.
How does the OpenWorks royalty show up in the books?
The OpenWorks royalty is 15% of sales, according to OpenWorks’ 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 an OpenWorks franchise?
OpenWorks’ 2026 FDD estimates in Item 7 that opening one OpenWorks location costs $4,250 to $134,480. We turn those Item 7 lines into your opening budget and track each payment against them.
What happens after my OpenWorks location opens?
Your OpenWorks 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.
